The mammalian centromere is a multifunctional chromosomal domain with a complexity that is reflected in its higher order structure, DNA sequence organization and protein composition. The centromere plays a major role during cell division where it functions as the site for the integration of the chro

## Abstract Sister chromatid cohesion mediated by the ringβshaped cohesin complex is essential for faithful chromosome segregation. A tight spatial and temporal control of cohesin release is observed in mitosis and meiosis, and a family of proteins known as __shugoshins__ play a major role in this
CHO chromosomes, prepared for fluorescence microscopy, or for scanning electron microscopy, sometimes show a splitting of the centromere proper into two sister centromeres, with a space between them, while the sister chromatids are joined in the most proximal regions of the chromosome arms. It is su
Supernumerary ring and large marker chromosomes are a characteristic of atypical lipomas and well-differentiated liposarcomas (ALP-WDLPS) and are composed of amplified 12q14 -15 sequences in association with variable segments from other chromosomes. Although stably transmitted, these chromosomes con
