Centromeric retrotransposons and centromere function
The centromeric DNA of most multicellular eukaryotes consists of tandem repeats (TR) that bind centromere-specific proteins and act as a substrate for the efficient repair of frequent double-stranded DNA breaks. Some retrotransposons target active centromeres during integration with such specificity that they can be used to deduce current and historic ...

Pan-centromere reveals widespread centromere repositioning of soybean genomes
Significance Centromeres are crucial for ensuring accurate chromosome segregation in eukaryotic organisms. We identified centromere satellites associated with chromosome 1 of soybean, revealing significant rearrangements and impacting the localization of

Parallel pathways for recruiting effector proteins determine centromere drive and suppression
Summary Selfish centromere DNA sequences bias their transmission to the egg in female meiosis. Evolutionary theory suggests that centromere proteins evolve to suppress costs of this “centromere drive”.
