Centromere identity from the DNA point of view
2014
Chromosoma
However, some evolutionary preferences seem to exist, and long-term established centromeres are frequently formed on long arrays of satellite DNAs and/or transposable elements. ...
Here, we comprehensively review the current state of knowledge on the composition and functionality of DNA sequences underlying active centromeres and discuss their contribution to the functioning of different ...

Strong epigenetic similarity between maize centromeric and pericentromeric regions at the level of small RNAs, DNA methylation and H3 chromatin modifications
2011
Nucleic Acids Research
We applied genome-wide sequencing approaches to quantify RNA expression, DNA methylation and histone modification distributions in maize (Zea mays), focusing on two maize chromosomes with nearly fully ...
RNA expression and chromatin modification frequencies were broadly associated with distance from centromeres, gradually peaking or dipping toward arms. ...

Repetitive DNA loci and their modulation by the non-canonical nucleic acid structures R-loops and G-quadruplexes
2017
Nucleus
Here, we discuss key mechanisms that maintain rDNA repeats, telomeres, and transposons in yeast and human before highlighting emerging roles for non-canonical DNA structures at these repetitive loci. ...
The major source of repetitive DNA sequences and thus the most vulnerable constituents of the genome are the rDNA (rDNA) repeats, telomeres, and transposable elements. ...
Of particular interest, 2 types of non-canonical DNA structures known as R-loops (harbouring RNA-DNA hybrids) and G-quadruplexes (GQ) are especially abundant within repetitive DNA loci. 5 The formation ...
