Specialized replication mechanisms maintain genome stability at human centromeres by Scelfo, A, Angrisani, A, Grillo, M, Barnes, BM, Muyas, F, Sauer, CM, Leung, CWB, Dumont, M, Grison, M, Mazaud, D, Garnier, M, Guintini, L, Nelson, L, Esashi, F, Cortés-Ciriano, I, Taylor, SS, Déjardin, J, Wilhelm, T, Fachinetti, D

“…We show that replication stress, hallmark of pre-cancerous lesions, promotes centromeric breakage in mitosis, due to spindle forces and endonuclease activities. Mechanistically, we unveil unique dynamics of the centromeric replisome distinct from the rest of the genome. …”

Experimental studies of melting PCM in a heat sink by Muhammad Azrin Sa'ad.
