A central principle underlying the ubiquity and abundance of pericentromeric satellite DNA repeats in eukaryotes has remained poorly understood. In our previous study (Jagannathan et al., 2018), we proposed that the interchromosomal clustering of satellite DNAs into nuclear structures known as chromocenters ensures encapsulation of all chromosomes into a single nucleus. Chromocenter disruption led to micronuclei formation, resulting in cell death. Here we show that chromocenter formation is… CONTINUE READING
