Epigenetic rewriting at centromeric DNA repeats leads to increased chromatin accessibility and chromosomal instability
BACKGROUND: Centromeric regions of human chromosomes contain large numbers of tandemly repeated α-satellite sequences. These sequences are covered with constitutive heterochromatin which is enriched in trimethylation of histone H3 on lysine 9 (H3K9me3). Although well studied using artificial chromos...
