Efficiency of de novo centromere formation in human artificial chromosomes.
In a comparative study, we show that human artificial chromosome (HAC) vectors based on alpha-satellite (alphoid) DNA from chromosome 17 but not the Y chromosome regularly form HACs in HT1080 human cells. We constructed four structurally similar HAC vectors, two with chromosome 17 or Y alphoid DNA (...
