Abstract: Mammalian centromeres are generally composed of dispersed repeats and the satellites such as α-satellites in human and major/minor satellites in mouse. Transcription of centromeres by RNA polymerase II is evolutionary conserved and critical for kinetochore… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.76106
Abstract: Fertility in female mammals, including mice and humans, is dependent on the presence of a zona pellucida (ZP) around growing oocytes and unfertilized eggs. A ZP is required to stabilize contacts between oocyte microvilli and… read more here.
