Example sentences for: centromeres

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

In animals, heterochromatin is typically found near centromeres and other regions of low sequence complexity.
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.
The total assembled length is 3.08 billion bp - about 4% smaller than estimates of genome size based on flow cytometry [ 9], presumably due to the exclusion of constitutive heterochromatic regions and centromeres.
Early observations by Rabl (cited by [ 3]) in plants suggested a preferential polarization of chromosomes, with their centromeres clustered at one end of the nuclear envelope (the apical side) and the telomeres at the opposite end (the basal side).
For instance, cohesin in chromosome arms may help to organize or condense chromosomes, whereas cohesin at centromeres may be more directly involved in chromosome bi-orientation at the spindle and segregation.
