Four near-complete genome assemblies reveal the landscape and evolution of centromeres in Salicaceae
Our results highlight the dynamic evolution of diverse centromeric landscapes among closely related species mediated by satellite homogenization and widespread invasions of transposable elements and shed further light on the role of centromere in genome evolution and species diversification.
