Expansion of human centromeric arrays in cells undergoing break-induced replication
2023-11-15
Abstract excerpt
Human centromeres are located within α-satellite arrays and evolve rapidly, which can lead to individual variation in array lengths. Proposed mechanisms for such alterations in lengths are unequal cross-over between sister chromatids, gene conversion, and break-induced replication. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for the massive, complex, and homogeneous organization of centromeric arrays...
