The overall structure and composition of human centromeres have been well reported, but how these elements vary between individual chromosomes and influence the chromosome-specific behavior during mitosis remains untested. In our study, we discover the existence of heterogeneity of centromeric DNA features that dictates the chromosome segregation fidelity during mitosis.
Keywords: Centromere; aneuploidy; cell division.
