#Parasitology paperwatch: recent review from Midori Ishii & Bungo Akiyoshi on #centromeres and #kinetochores. Principally describes the distinction between monocentric and holocentric centromeres, the role of the histone H3 variant CENP-A (when present) and their taxonomic distribution. It then touches on #kinetoplastid kinetochores and the riddle of what defines their centromeres at the end. 😀 👍 👏

@Natashaobrown lots of #RNA polymerase II transcrpition processing near the #Centromeres (ciRNA) .... and rRNA copy number coupled with #Replication forks downstram of the RNA polymerase I promoters during S1 phase of cell cycle
