Epigenetic engineering reveals a balance between histone modifications and transcription in kinetochore maintenance

Centromeres are centrochromatin domains with CENP-A and H3 nucleosomes carrying transcription-associated modifications. Here the authors target synthetic modules to the centromeres to show that transcription plus histone modifications are required for CENP-A assembly and centrochromatin maintenance.
