Abstract excerpt
We constructed Saccharomyces cerevisiae centromere DNA mutants by annealing and ligating synthetic oligonucleotides, a novel approach to centromere DNA mutagenesis that allowed us to change only one structural parameter at a time. Using this method, we confirmed that CDE I, II, and III alone are sufficient for centromere function and that A + T-rich sequences in CDE II play important roles in mitosis and meiosis....
