| For analysis of the chromosome constitution a centromeric probe was not required. |
| Signals from both subfamilies were mainly located in the centromeric regions of maize metaphase chromosomes. |
| In Drosophila, relocation of a euchromatic gene near centromeric or telomeric heterochromatin often leads to its mosaic silencing. |
| Each volume projection shows DNA in blue and a probe to the second chromosome centromeric heterochromatin in red. |
| Robertsonian translocation involves two acrocentric chromosomes, which fuse at the centromeric region and lose their short arms. |
| Centromeric DNA, being highly repetitive, has been refractory to molecular analysis. |
