A Game of Thrones at Human Centromeres I. Multifarious structure necessitates a new molecular/evolutionary model
2019-08-10
Abstract excerpt
Human centromeres form over arrays of tandemly repeated DNA that are exceptionally complex (repeats of repeats) and long (spanning up to 8 Mbp). They also have an exceptionally rapid rate of evolution. The generally accepted model for the expansion/contraction, homogenization and evolution of human centromeric repeat arrays is a generic model for the evolution of satellite DNA that is based on unequal crossing ove...
