Chromosome Centromeres: Structural and Analytical Investigations with High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscopy in Combination with Focused Ion Beam Milling [PDF]
, 2009 Whole mount mitotic metaphase chromosomes of different plants and animals were investigated with high resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) to study the ultrastructural organization of centromeres, including metacentric ...

Centromere-associated repeat arrays on Trypanosoma brucei chromosomes are much more extensive than predicted. [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: African trypanosomes belong to a eukaryotic lineage which displays many unusual genetic features. The mechanisms of chromosome segregation in these diploid protozoan parasites are poorly understood. Centromeres in Trypanosoma brucei have been

Sequential assembly of centromeric proteins in male mouse meiosis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2009 The assembly of the mitotic centromere has been extensively studied in recent years, revealing the sequence and regulation of protein loading to this chromosome domain. However, few studies have analyzed centromere assembly during mammalian meiosis. This

Comparative gene mapping in Arabidopsis lyrata chromosomes 1 and 2 and the corresponding A. thaliana chromosome 1: recombination rates, rearrangements and centromere location [PDF]
, 2006 To add detail to the genetic map of Arabidopsis lyrata, and compare it with that of A. thaliana, we have developed many additional markers in the A. lyrata linkage groups, LG1 and LG2, corresponding to A. thaliana chromosome 1.

Epigenetically-inherited centromere and neocentromere DNA replicates earliest in S-phase. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 Eukaryotic centromeres are maintained at specific chromosomal sites over many generations. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, centromeres are genetic elements defined by a DNA sequence that is both necessary and sufficient for function ...

Fission yeast bub1 is a mitotic centromere protein essential for the spindle checkpoint and the preservation of correct ploidy through mitosis [PDF]
, 1998 The spindle checkpoint ensures proper chromosome segregation by delaying anaphase until all chromosomes are correctly attached to the mitotic spindle.

Key centromere proteins in Physcomitrella patens identified via SPIDER and IP-MS
Shenzhen Daxue xuebao. Ligong banPlant artificial chromosomes play a crucial role in synthetic biology, wherein key centromere proteins represent essential components in synthesizing these chromosomes. However, the identification of centromere proteins in plants remains limited.

Centromere plasmid: a new genetic tool for the study of Plasmodium falciparum. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The introduction of transgenes into Plasmodium falciparum, a highly virulent human malaria parasite, has been conducted either by single crossover recombination or by using episomal plasmids.
