(1) We observed an accumulation of cDNA loci near the centromere for seven chromosomes.(2) In fact, we did not find any informative marker in the three chromosomal divisions around the centromere of this chromosome.(3) The presence of a kinetochore spot indicates the centromere region of each chromosome.(4) In addition, binding of the yeast CBF3 kinetochore complex to centromeric DNA was severely compromised in this mutant.(5) The pertinent variable in this form of meiotic drive is the presence of differing numbers of centromeres on paired homologous chromosomes.(6) Each volume projection shows DNA in blue and a probe to the second chromosome centromeric heterochromatin in red.(7) In Drosophila, relocation of a euchromatic gene near centromeric or telomeric heterochromatin often leads to its mosaic silencing.(8) Strains were transformed with a control centromeric plasmid or a centromeric plasmid carrying the wild-type GUK1 gene.(9) Signals from both subfamilies were mainly located in the centromeric regions of maize metaphase chromosomes.(10) We conclude that chromosomes with damaged centromeres fail to correctly attach to the spindle, thus producing MN and monosomy.
