Given the large amount of current research interest in centromere biology, it seems likely that the centromere has a few more surprises in store for us.

Michael Lampson, PhD is a cell biologist at the University of Pennsylvania. His research group focuses on cell division, centromere function in the germline, and the cell biology of meiotic drive.

Researchers propose a two-step regulatory mechanism for non-Rabl configurations of centromeres in the nucleus. Centromeres are chromosomal domains that link pairs of sister chromatids together during ...
