Transcription of a centromere-enriched retroelement and local retention of its RNA are significant features of the CENP-A chromatin landscape

Abstract Background Centromeres depend on chromatin containing the conserved histone H3 variant CENP-A for function and inheritance, while the role of centromeric DNA repeats remains unclear. Retroelements are prevalent at centromeres across taxa and represent a potential mechanism for promoting tra...
