This book presents the latest advances concerning the regulation of chromosome segregation during cell division by means of centromeres and kinetochores. The au

The centromere is a chromosomal region that enables the accurate segregation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. It holds sister chromatids together, and

Plant Centromere Biology is dedicated to plant centromere research. Chapters cover the structure of centromeres from several plant species including Arabidopsis

During evolution there have been several major changes in the way genetic information is organized and transmitted from one generation to the next. These transi

The centromere is an essential structure on all eukaryotic chromosomes that allows the equipartition of chromosomes during mitotic and meiotic cell divisions. S
