Very happy to share that our work on the mutational dynamics of Arabidopsis centromeres has been published in Nature! 🎉 Centromeres are essential for chromosome segregation, yet their repetitive DNA evolves remarkably fast. In this study, we investigated how mutations arise and accumulate in centromeres across generations, and how these small-scale changes can shape centromere evolution over much longer timescales. This work has been a major part of my PhD, and I am very happy to finally see it published. Many thanks to everyone in the Schneeberger lab, all our collaborators, and everyone who supported this work along the way! 📄 Paper: https://lnkd.in/en8xhwSU 📰 Press release: https://lnkd.in/eEV6zyzv #Centromere #GenomeEvolution #Arabidopsis #PlantScience #Genomics
