Periodic Reporting for period 3 - CENEVO (A new paradigm for centromere biology:Evolution and mechanism of CenH3-independent chromosome segregation in holocentric insects)

Chromosome segregation is essential to all eukaryotic life, yet, many components involved in this process are highly divergent across organisms. In the CENEVO proposal, we aim to characterize a novel pathway for kinetochore and centromere formation in insects that occurs...
