A role for recombination in centromere function.

Centromeres are essential for chromosome segregation during both mitosis and meiosis. There are no obvious or conserved DNA sequence motif determinants for centromere function, but the complex centromeres found in the majority of eukaryotes studied to date consist of repetitive DNA sequences. A stri...
