Haplotypes spanning centromeric regions reveal persistence of large blocks of archaic DNA
Despite critical roles in chromosome segregation and disease, the repetitive structure and vast size of centromeres and their surrounding heterochromatic regions impede studies of genomic variation. Here we report the identification of large-scale haplotypes (cenhaps) in humans that span the centrom...
