Molecular conflicts disrupting centromere assembly contribute to Xenopus hybrid inviability

M. Kitaoka, O. K. Smith, A. F. Straight, R. Heald

The paper identifies sequence-independent centromere incompatibilities in Xenopus hybrids that disrupt epigenetic pathways required for centromere maintenance, leading to hybrid inviability.
