Analysis of chromosome positions in the interphase nucleus of Chinese hamster cells by laser-UV-microirradiation experiments [PDF]
, 1982 Unsynchronized cells of an essentially diploid strain of female Chinese hamster cells derived from lung tissue (CHL) were laser-UV-microirradiated (=257 nm) in the nucleus either at its central part or at its periphery.

The origin of human chromosome 2 analyzed by comparative chromosome mapping with a DNA microlibrary [PDF]
, 1994 Fluorescencein situ hybridization (FISH) of microlibraries established from distinct chromosome subregions can test the evolutionary conservation of chromosome bands as well as chromosomal rearrangements that occurred during primate evolution and will ...

Atypical centromeres in plants – what they can tell us
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 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 ...

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.

Centromere Satellite Repeats Have Undergone Rapid Changes in Polyploid Wheat Subgenomes[OPEN]
The Plant Cell, 2019 Variation in centromere satellite sequence and copy number, and structural rearrangements produce asymmetries in polyploid wheat homeologs, highlighting the role in homolog pairing during meiosis. Centromeres mediate the pairing of homologous chromosomes

The micronucleus assay as a biological dosimeter of in vivo ionising radiation exposure [PDF]
, 2010 Biological dosimetry, based on the analysis of micronuclei (MN) in the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay can be used as an alternative method for scoring dicentric chromosomes in the field of radiation protection.

Point centromere activity requires an optimal level of centromeric noncoding RNA
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Budding yeast harbors a simple point centromere, which is originally believed to be sequence dependent without much epigenetic regulation and is transcription incompatible, as inserting a strong promoter upstream inactivates the centromere ...

Comparative gene mapping in Arabidopsis lyrata chromosomes 6 and 7 and A thaliana chromosome IV: evolutionary history, rearrangements and local recombination rates [PDF]
, 2006 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 ...

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
