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...

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