De novo formation of several features of a centromere following introduction of a Y alphoid YAC into mammalian cells.
The DNA sequence requirements for mammalian centromere function have been investigated by re-introducing human YAC clones containing either centromeric or non-centromeric sequences into hamster and human cells. All YACs integrated into the host chromosomes. In most cell lines produced by spheroplast...
