Liu J, Seetharam A, Chougule K, Ou S, Swentowsky K, Gent J, et al.
Genome Biol . 2020 May; 21(1):121. PMID: 32434565
Creating gapless telomere-to-telomere assemblies of complex genomes is one of the ultimate challenges in genomics. We use two independent assemblies and an optical map-based merging pipeline to produce a maize...

Presting G
Curr Opin Genet Dev . 2018 Mar; 49:79-84. PMID: 29597064
The centromeric DNA of most multicellular eukaryotes consists of tandem repeats (TR) that bind centromere-specific proteins and act as a substrate for the efficient repair of frequent double-stranded DNA breaks....

Jiao Y, Peluso P, Shi J, Liang T, Stitzer M, Wang B, et al.
Nature . 2017 Jun; 546(7659):524-527. PMID: 28605751
Complete and accurate reference genomes and annotations provide fundamental tools for characterization of genetic and functional variation. These resources facilitate the determination of biological processes and support translation of research...

Wolfgruber T, Nakashima M, Schneider K, Sharma A, Xie Z, Albert P, et al.
Front Plant Sci . 2016 Apr; 7:308. PMID: 27047500
The ancestral centromeres of maize contain long stretches of the tandemly arranged CentC repeat. The abundance of tandem DNA repeats and centromeric retrotransposons (CR) has presented a significant challenge to...

Schneider K, Xie Z, Wolfgruber T, Presting G
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2016 Feb; 113(8):E987-96. PMID: 26858403
Functional centromeres, the chromosomal sites of spindle attachment during cell division, are marked epigenetically by the centromere-specific histone H3 variant cenH3 and typically contain long stretches of centromere-specific tandem DNA...

Sherwood A, Carlile A, Neumann J, Kociolek J, Johansen J, Lowe R, et al.
BMC Ecol . 2014 Oct; 14:28. PMID: 25343968
Background: A remarkable range of environmental conditions is present in the Hawaiian Islands due to their gradients of elevation, rainfall and island age. Despite being well known as a location...

Sharma A, Presting G
Genome Biol Evol . 2014 May; 6(6):1335-52. PMID: 24814286
Centromeric retrotransposons (CRs) constitute a family of plant retroelements, some of which have the ability to target their insertion almost exclusively to the functional centromeres. Our exhaustive analysis of CR...

Sharma A, Wolfgruber T, Presting G
BMC Genomics . 2013 Mar; 14:142. PMID: 23452340
Background: Tandem repeats are ubiquitous and abundant in higher eukaryotic genomes and constitute, along with transposable elements, much of DNA underlying centromeres and other heterochromatic domains. In maize, centromeric satellite...

Sherwood A, Wang N, Carlile A, Neumann J, Wolfgruber T, Presting G
BMC Ecol . 2012 Oct; 12:22. PMID: 23095476
Background: Biodiversity databases serve the important role of highlighting species-level diversity from defined geographical regions. Databases that are specially designed to accommodate the types of data gathered during regional surveys...

Birchler J, Presting G
Genes Dev . 2012 Apr; 26(7):638-40. PMID: 22474258
The centromeres of most eukaryotic organisms consist of highly repetitive arrays that are similar across nonhomologous chromosomes. These sequences evolve rapidly, thus posing a mystery as to how such arrays...
