Maize centromeric chromatin scales with changes in genome size.

Genetics - 15 Apr 2021

Wang Na, Liu Jianing, Ricci William A, Gent Jonathan I, Dawe R Kelly

Abstract excerpt

Centromeres are defined by the location of Centromeric Histone H3 (CENP-A/CENH3) which interacts with DNA to define the locations and sizes of functional centromeres. An analysis of 26 maize genomes including 110 fully assembled centromeric regions revealed positive relationships between centromere size and genome size. These effects are independent of variation in the amounts of the major centromeric satellite...
