Rare k-mers reveal centromere haplogroups underlying human diversity and cancer translocations
2025-07-27
Abstract excerpt
Centromeres are among the most diverse and dynamically evolving regions of the human genome and are commonly affected in various human cancers. However, organized into highly repetitive α-satellite higher-order repeats (HORs), human centromere sequences have long resisted detailed genomic analysis. Although the development of long-read sequencing platforms has enabled the analysis of complete centromere sequences,...
