Genomics and epigenomics of holocentromeres in nematodes Meloidogyne
The centromere is a complex chromosomal locus that plays one of the most important roles in the process of chromosome segregation. Abnormalities in this region cause numerous disorders such as cell death, aneuploidy, infertility and cancer.
