Genomic variation within alpha satellite DNA influences centromere location on human chromosomes with metastable epialleles

Alpha satellite is a tandemly organized type of repetitive DNA that comprises 5% of the genome and is found at all human centromeres. A defined number of 171-bp monomers are organized into chromosome-specific higher-order repeats (HORs) that are reiterated thousands of times. At least half of all hu...
