A functional neo-centromere formed through activation of a latent human centromere and consisting of non-alpha-satellite DNA
We recently described a human marker chromosome containing a functional neo-centromere
that binds anti-centromere antibodies, but is devoid of centromeric α-satellite repeats and …
