Uncoupling of satellite DNA and centromeric function in the genus Equus.

Uncoupling of satellite DNA and centromeric function in the genus Equus.

In a previous study, we showed that centromere repositioning, that is the shift along the chromosome of the centromeric function without DNA sequence rearrangement, has occurred frequently during the evolution of the genus Equus. In this work, the analysis of the chromosomal distribution of satellit...
