Comparative gene mapping in Arabidopsis lyrata chromosomes 6 and 7 and A thaliana chromosome IV: evolutionary history, rearrangements and local recombination rates [PDF]
We have increased the density of genetic markers on the Arabidopsis lyrata chromosomes AL6 and AL7 corresponding to the A. thaliana chromosome IV, in order to determine chromosome rearrangements between these two species, and to compare recombination ...

Atypical centromeres in plants – what they can tell us
The centromere, visible as the primary constriction of condensed metaphase chromosomes, is a defined chromosomal locus essential for genome stability. It mediates transient assembly of a multi-protein complex, the kinetochore, which enables interaction ...

Point Mutations in Centromeric Histone Induce Post-zygotic Incompatibility and Uniparental Inheritance. [PDF]
The centromeric histone 3 variant (CENH3, aka CENP-A) is essential for the segregation of sister chromatids during mitosis and meiosis. To better define CENH3 functional constraints, we complemented a null allele in Arabidopsis with a variety of mutant ...

FISH mapping and molecular organization of the major repetitive sequences of tomato [PDF]
This paper presents a bird's-eye view of the major repeats and chromatin types of tomato. Using fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) with Cot-1, Cot-10 and Cot-100 DNA as probes we mapped repetitive sequences of different complexity on pachytene ...

DNA content of a functioning chicken kinetochore [PDF]
© The Author(s) 2014. In order to understand the three-dimensional structure of the functional kinetochore in vertebrates, we require a complete list and stoichiometry for the protein components of the kinetochore, which can be provided by genetic and ...

Sequential assembly of centromeric proteins in male mouse meiosis. [PDF]
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

Summary: Functional tags are ubiquitous in cell biology, and for studies of one chromosomal locus, the centromere, tags have been remarkably useful. The centromere directs chromosome inheritance at cell division. The location of the centromere is defined

Key centromere proteins in Physcomitrella patens identified via SPIDER and IP-MS
Plant 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.

Comparative gene mapping in Arabidopsis lyrata chromosomes 1 and 2 and the corresponding A. thaliana chromosome 1: recombination rates, rearrangements and centromere location [PDF]
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]
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 ...
