The elusive centromere: sequence divergence and functional conservation.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Dec 1995

Sunkel C E, Coelho P A

Abstract excerpt

The centromere is an essential cis-acting structure present in the chromosomes of all eukaryotes, central to the mechanism that ensures proper segregation during meiosis and mitosis. Molecular characterization of centromeres in the budding and fission yeasts has advanced significantly over the last few years due to their relatively small size and the availability of functional assays. However, identification and...
