Centromere evolution and CpG methylation during vertebrate speciation

Centromeres and large-scale structural variants evolve and contribute to genome diversity during vertebrate speciation. Here Ichikawa et al perform de novo long-read genome assembly of three inbred medaka strains, and report long-range structure of centromeres and their methylation as well as correl...

Description
Summary:Centromeres and large-scale structural variants evolve and contribute to genome diversity during vertebrate speciation. Here Ichikawa et al perform de novo long-read genome assembly of three inbred medaka strains, and report long-range structure of centromeres and their methylation as well as correlation of structural variants with differential gene expression.
