Repetitive Fragile Sites: Centromere Satellite DNA as a Source of Genome Instability in Human Diseases

Maintenance of an intact genome is essential for cellular and organismal homeostasis. The centromere is a specialized chromosomal locus required for faithful genome inheritance at each round of cell division. Human centromeres are composed of large tandem arrays of repetitive alpha-satellite DNA, wh...
