Centromeres

Furthermore, Aurora B activity at centromeres, which is needed to correct improper microtubule attachments, is partially reduced upon condensin dysfunction. ❋ Alexander Samoshkin Et Al. (2009)

In “The Dicentric Problem” I explained how the presence of two centromeres does not necessarily interfere with proper segregation. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Do we know whether or not there are extra centromeres and telomeres in the Equus species of lower chromosome number due to fusion of chromosome pairs? ❋ Unknown (2009)

As centromeres are very dynamic and retrotransposons can be very disruptive one could speculate on perhaps a single cause for the fusion. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Have the Equus genomes been studied in the same manner than human genomes have been studied in order to determine whether or not there are extra centromeres and/or telomeres? ❋ Unknown (2009)

Work in yeast had identified functional DNA elements that direct the replication and partitioning of chromosomes (replication origins and centromeres, respectively). ❋ Unknown (2007)

That means the companies must translate the demanding argot of genetics — alleles and phenotypes and centromeres — into something approachable, even simple, for physicians and laypersons alike. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Scientists have always known that many essential sequences are present in non-coding DNA; regulatory sequences, centromeres, telomeres, SARs, origins of replication, ribosome binding sites, polyadenylation sites, transcription termination sites, etc. etc. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Some of it is involved in chromosome structure and cell division e.g., telomeres, centromeres. ❋ Unknown (2007)

OK, so we observe that humans and chimps share unique genetic markers, including a broken vitamin C gene and, in humans, a fused chromosome that is identical to two of the chimp chromosomes with all the appropriate doubled centromeres and telomeres. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Curse it all, that should read “centrioles”, not centromeres. ❋ Unknown (2006)
