Centromeres are critical for cell division, loading CENH3 or CENPA histone variant nucleosomes, directing kinetochore formation and allowing chromosome segregation<sup>1,2</sup>. Despite their conserved function, centromere size and structure are diverse across species. To understand this centromere paradox<sup>3,4</sup>, it is necessary to know how centromeric diversity is generated and whether it reflects ancient trans-species variation or, instead, rapid post-speciation divergence. To address ...[more]
