Centromeres play a crucial role in cell division, with CENH3 guiding retrotransposon Tal1 integration, revealing insights ...

University of Rochester research reveals that centromeres, which are responsible for proper cell division, can rapidly reorganize over short time scales. The discovery involves an intricate and ...

Without centromeres, cells cannot divide properly and the overall process of mitosis fails. Why are these small chromosomal regions so essential to such a major cellular process? With a few ...

C-banding is a specialized Giemsa technique that primarily stains chromosomes at the centromeres, which have large amounts of AT-rich satellite DNA. The first method to be used to identify all 46 ...
