A Game of Thrones at Human Centromeres I. Multifarious structure necessitates a new molecular/evolutionary model

The paper analyzes human centromeric repeat arrays using PacBio reads to reveal structured sequences contradicting the unequal crossing over model.

Centromeric repeats of the Western European house mouse I: high sequence diversity among monomers at local and global spatial scales

The paper quantifies sequence and length polymorphism in centromeric repeats of the Western European house mouse, finding high sequence diversity at both local and global scales despite moderate divergence among random pairs of 120mers.

A Game of Thrones at Human Centromeres II. A new molecular/evolutionary model

This paper proposes a new molecular/evolutionary model for the formation and rapid evolution of human centromeric repeat arrays based on DNA replication fork collapse and break-induced repair.
