Alpha satellite insertion close to an ancestral centromeric region
2021-03-12
Abstract excerpt
Human centromeres are mainly composed of alpha satellite DNA hierarchically organized as higher-order repeats (HORs). Alpha satellite dynamics is shown by sequence homogenization in centromeric arrays and by its transfer to other centromeric locations, for example during the maturation of new centromeres. We identified during prenatal aneuploidy diagnosis by FISH a de novo insertion of alpha satellite DNA from th...
