Centromere Distribution Governs Genome Integrity and Stress Response - Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News

Scientists have uncovered a mechanism that controls how centromeres are scattered in the nucleus. It suggests centromere distribution in the nucleus plays a vital role in maintaining genome integrity, particularly under duress. Using the thale cress and its m…

Just like you might use a belt to keep your clothes in place, the centromere holds a pair of chromatids together and attaches it to the mitotic spindle during cell division to ensure that each daught… [+4992 chars]
