Evolutionary history of alpha satellite DNA in Cercopithecini: comparative cytogenomics highlights the diversification pattern of primate centromere repeats

2026-04-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Alpha satellites, a superfamily of AT-rich tandem repeats, are the primary DNA component of centromeres in Platyrrhini and Catarrhini. Analyses of the human genome suggest that centromeres behave like biological ridges, with new alpha satellite families expanding at the centromere core, splitting and displacing older ones towards the pericentromeres. The Cercopithecini tribe...
