Recurrent gene duplication leads to diverse repertoires of centromeric histones in Drosophila species

2016-11-11

Abstract excerpt

Despite their essential role in the process of chromosome segregation in most eukaryotes, centromeric histones show remarkable evolutionary lability. Not only have they been lost in multiple insect lineages, but they have also undergone gene duplication in multiple plant lineages. Based on detailed study of a handful of model organisms including Drosophila melanogaster, centromeric histone duplication is consider...
