TL;DR: It is shown that the distribution of centromeric alpha-satellite DNA in human lymphoid cells synchronized at G(0)/G(1) is unique for most individual chromosomes, and a model that predicts the intranuclear positioning of centromeres for each individual chromosome predicts that facultative heterochromatinization of distinct genomic regions may contribute to cell-type specific patterns of centRomere localization.
