Four near-complete genome assemblies reveal the landscape and evolution of centromeres in Salicaceae

Abstract Background Centromeres play a crucial role in maintaining genomic stability during cell division. They are typically composed of large arrays of tandem satellite repeats, which hinder high-quality assembly and complicate our efforts to understand their evolution across species. Here, we use...
