Higher order repeat structures reflect diverging evolutionary paths in maize centromeres and knobs
2025-02-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Highly repetitive tandem repeat arrays, known as satellite DNAs, are frequently found in low recombination regions such as centromeres. Satellite arrays often contain complex internal structures known as higher order repeats (HORs) that may have functional significance. Maize is unusual in having satellites in two different genomic contexts: centromeres, which interact with kinetochore pr...
