 Mon 29 Jun 202611:00 - 12:00 |  Seminar: The Goldilocks Histone: How Genomic Stability Requires Centromeres to Be Epigenetically “Just Right”Centre for Molecular Cell Biology Dr Yael Nechemia-Arbely Assistant Professor of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology, University of Pittsburg, PA, USA Summary Centromere protein A (CENP-A) is a heritable epigenetic mark that determines centromere identity and is essential for the accurate segregation of chromosomes during cell division. Here I will discuss the role of DNA methylation in maintaining centromere and neocentromere position, size, and function, and how CENP-A overexpression drives genome instability and... |
