Our paper is out! Take a look if you’re curious to see how we use expansion microscopy on diatoms ☺️ Very excited to keep using this!!

Centromere evolution isn't a sudden switch! Our study shows centromere transitions are a step-by-step process driven by a combination of drift and selection. Discover how the kinetochore interface shapes this gradual change in our new preprint 🥳 doi.org/10.1101/2025.01.16.633479 🧵(1/8)
