Silent pericentromeric repeats speak out.
Pericentromeres are essential structural components of the chromosome that function to ensure proper sister chromatid segregation during cell division. These chromosomal domains are composed of major satellite DNA repeats whose constitutively heterochromatic structure facilitates kinetochore formation (1). Characteristically demarcated by the silencing histone mark trimethyl-histone-3lysine-9, ...

Two horrific events in recent weeks have brought tragedy to the lives of individuals and families and forced into public consciousness issues of principle which lie at their heart. The mass shootings in the early hours of Sunday...
متن کاملHighly condensed potato pericentromeric heterochromatin contains rDNA-related tandem repeats.
The heterochromatin in eukaryotic genomes represents gene-poor regions and contains highly repetitive DNA sequences. The origin and evolution of DNA sequences in the heterochromatic regions are poorly understood. Here we report a unique class of pericentromeric heterochromatin consisting of DNA sequences highly homologous to the intergenic spacer (IGS) of the 18S.25S ribosomal RNA genes in pota...
