ScienceMutation patterns in Arabidopsis centromeres
Nature reports that homology-directed repair drives increased rates of point mutations in Arabidopsis thaliana centromeres.
TLDR
Nature reports that Arabidopsis thaliana centromeres evolve through frequent insertions and deletions of repeat units, as well as increased rates of point mutations driven by homology-directed repair.
