In metaphase preparations of human chromosomes, the acrocentric chromosomes of groups D and G may often be observed associated together with their satellites aligned towards each other in close ...

Centromere evolution and CpG methylation during vertebrate speciationCentromeres and large-scale structural variants evolve and contribute to genome diversity during vertebrate speciation. Here, we ...

Chromosome 13 is the largest human acrocentric chromosome and, in common with the other acrocentric chromosomes, its short arm is composed of heterochromatin rich in repeated sequences, including ...

In the present study, the distribution of a centromeric NOR cluster located on an acrocentric chromosome not involved in the Rb fusions (chromosome 11, NOR11) was investigated to determine if the ...
