satellite-like sequence, representing a “clone gap” in the human genome, was likely involved in the seeding of a novel centromere in macaque

Although the human genome sequence is generally considered “finished”, the latest assembly (NCBI Build 36.1) still presents a number of gaps. Some of them are defined as “clone gaps” because they separate neighboring contigs. Evolutionary new centromeres are centromeres that repositioned along the c...
