Description for Centromere
Hardback. The centromere is a chromosomal locus that regulates the pairing and segregation of chromosomes during cell division. This book presents current views on centromere structure and identity, and offers a unique overview on centromere research of the last decade. Editor(s): Ugarkovic, Durdica. Series: Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology. Num Pages: 194 pages, 20 black & white illustrations, 15 colour illustrations, 4 black & white tables, biograph. BIC Classification: PSB; PSF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 18. Weight in Grams: 497.
The centromere is a chromosomal region that enables the accurate segregation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. It holds sister chromatids together, and through its centromere DNA–protein complex known as the kinetochore binds spindle microtubules to bring about accurate chromosome movements. Despite this conserved function, centromeres exhibit dramatic difference in structure, size, and complexity. Extensive studies on centromeric DNA revealed its rapid evolution resulting often in significant difference even among closely related species. Such a plasticity of centromeric DNA could be explained by epigenetic c- trol of centromere function, which does not depend absolutely on primary DNA sequence. According to ... Read more
