The centromere links a pair of sister chromatids together during cell division. This constricted region of chromosome connects the sister chromatids, creating...

Anti-centromere antibodies (ACAs; often styled solid, anticentromere) are autoantibodies specific to centromere and kinetochore function. They occur in...

Centromere protein B also known as major centromere autoantigen B is an autoantigen protein of the cell nucleus. In humans, centromere protein B is encoded...

misdivision of the centromere or U-type strand exchange. Under normal separation of sister chromatids in anaphase, the centromere will divide longitudinally...

Centromere protein M also known as proliferation associated nuclear element 1 (PANE1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CENPM gene. An alternative...

Centromere-associated protein E is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CENPE gene. Centromere-associated protein E is a kinesin-like motor protein...

separated by a region called the centromere. Robertsonian translocations can only occur between chromosomes which have the centromere very close to one end. This...

and both copies are joined by a centromere, resulting either in an X-shaped structure (pictured above), if the centromere is located equatorially, or a...

chromosomes are generally organized in pairs, ordered by size and position of centromere for chromosomes of the same size. Karyotyping generally combines light...

heterochromatin appears black on Giemsa staining). They are counted from the centromere out toward the telomeres. A range of loci is specified in a similar way...
