CEN14 Locus History

Sequence Annotation Notes
Date	Note
2004-10-12	The coordinates of this centromere were updated to accommodate annotation of the centromeric DNA elements CDEI, CDEII, and CDEIII based on Wieland et al. 2001, and Espelin et al. 2003.

Mapping Notes
Date	Note
1996-09-21	Edition 13: There are three conserved sequence elements in the centromere that are sufficient for mitotic and meiotic segregation. CDEI (8bp) is required for mitotic segregation; although most assays indicate it is dispensable for meiotic chromosome segregation, it is needed for meiosis I plasmid disjunction. CDEII (78-86 bp A-T rich region) is specifically required for meiosis I disjunction. CDEIII (25 bp) is essential for both mitotic and meiotic segregation.
