CONT

Neocentromeres are an intriguing type of centromere arising at atypical chromosomal sites, including chromosome arms or telomeres ... They are unique models for studying de novo centromere formation because they usually form on non-repetitive DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid], yet recruit centromere proteins, and generally segregate faithfully during cell division.
