(3/3) The researchers found that the cell’s division machinery acts as a critical filter, allowing only those centromere variants that are compatible with effective attachment to survive and spread.

(2/3) Centromeres – the little points where two arms of a chromosome meet – are one of the fastest-evolving parts of our genome.
Scientists studied centromeres in two fungal groups that diverged over a billion years ago to understand the evolutionary pressures that act on them.
