Centromere Epigenetics

Centromere Epigenetics is a specialized field within chromatin biology that investigates the heritable regulation of centromere identity and function through epigenetic mechanisms, particularly the centromere-specific histone H3 variant CENP-A, independent of the underlying DNA sequence.
