Journal ArticleDOI
Human centromeric chromatin is a dynamic chromosomal domain that can spread over noncentromeric DNA
TL;DR: It is proposed that human centromere regions normally exist in a dynamic state in which a regional boundary, defined by H3 lysine 9 dimethylation, separates CEN chromatin from constitutive heterochromatin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic size of CENP-A domain is proportional to total alpha satellite array size at human centromeres and expands in cancer cells
TL;DR: The results suggest that cancer transformation and amounts of centromeric heterochromatin have notable effects on the amount of alpha satellite that is associated with CENP-A chromatin, and imply that alpha satellite array size may be a more prominent predictor of CENp-A incorporation than chromosome size.
