CENP-A/CENP-B uncoupling in the evolutionary reshuffling of centromeres in equids
We propose that the uncoupling between CENP-B and CENP-A may have played a role in the extensive evolutionary reshuffling of equid centromeres. This study provides new insights into the complexity of centromere organization in a largely biodiverse world where the majority of mammalian species still have to be studied.
