Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Centromere function is fundamental and conserved across eukaryotes, despite highly divergent DNA sequences, even among closely related species. These regions often contain rapidly evolving repeats and retrotransposons, yet play a crucial role in chromosome segregation. Soybean, which harbors two distinct types of centromeric satellite repeats, is an ideal model for studying centromeric repeat...
