How can you use “centromeres” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

We identified 0.9 Mb of repeated sequence (less than 1% of the euchromatic genome), 40% mapping to chromosome X, 40% to chromosome 2, 15% to chromosome 3 and 3% to chromosome 4. Although there are more repeats on chromosomes X and 2, they appear to be randomly distributed and are not clustered at the centromeres or telomeres.
Repetitive sequences appear to dominate the centromeres of many eukaryotes [ 2], and telomeric and subtelomeric repeats extend for thousands or tens of thousands of nucleotides at the ends of chromosomes.
In animals, heterochromatin is typically found near centromeres and other regions of low sequence complexity.
Mutations in the protein Ndc10 have also been shown to affect cohesin deposition at centromeres.
The second mechanism that can facilitate the dissolution of cohesin is proteolysis; this may be particularly important at centromeres.
