Centromere

Book section · February 27, 2013 Centromeres are essential to accurate segregation of genetic material in both meiosis and mitosis. Visually, the centromere is the site of constriction on metaphase chromosomes. Functionally, it is the site where the proteins of the kinetochore assemble to ... Full text Cite

Nondisjunction

Book section · February 27, 2013 Accurate chromosome segregation during cell division is essential for the health and viability of cells and organisms. Duplicated chromosomes attach to microtubules and subsequently disjoin to be equally partitioned to daughter cells. Failure to evenly app ... Full text Cite

Centromeres

Book section · February 15, 2013 The centromere is essential for accurate segregation of genetic material in both meiosis and mitosis. It is the site of the primary constriction on metaphase chromosomes. Functionally, it is where proteins of the kinetochore assemble to hold sister chromat ... Full text Cite

Epigenetic inheritance and RNAI at the centromere and heterochromatin

Book section · January 1, 2006 RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved gene silencing mechanism by which double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) are processed into short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that regulate gene expression and posttranscriptional modifications of histones. In fission yeast and ve ... Full text Cite
