GONUTS is under stress! The website is currently experiencing long-wait times and frequent time-outs due to the record number of students, groups, and annotations related to CACAO this semester. We are currently working on increasing performance -- please accept our apologies for the technical difficulties.
You can help reduce stress on the server by:
- not reloading pages frequently - this just adds
- opening links in new windows (so you can read the old page)
Category:GO:0005698 ! centromere
This GO term has been obsoleted.
Do not annotate to it.
id: GO:0005698
name: centromere
namespace: cellular_component
def: "OBSOLETE. The region of a eukaryotic chromosome that is attached to the spindle during nuclear division. It is defined genetically as the region of the chromosome that always segregates at the first division of meiosis; the region of the chromosome in which no crossing over occurs. At the start of M phase, each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids with a constriction at a point which forms the centromere. During late prophase two kinetochores assemble on each centromere, one kinetochore on each sister chromatid." [ISBN:0198506732]
comment: This term was made obsolete because it is a genetically defined region and not a specific subcellular localization.
is_obsolete: true
consider: GO:0000775 ! chromosome, centromeric region
