Dynamic epigenetic states of maize centromeres

Dynamic epigenetic states of maize centromeres

The centromere is a specialized chromosomal region identified as the major constriction, upon which the kinetochore complex is formed, ensuring accurate chromosome orientation and segregation during cell division. The rapid evolution of centromere DNA sequence and the conserved centromere function a...
