Genome study reveals centromeres as one of the fastest-changing regions in human DNA

Per Phys.org, a genome study has identified centromeres—the chromosomal regions that ensure accurate cell division—as among the fastest-changing areas of human DNA. These regions are critical for making sure each new cell receives the correct amount of genetic material, yet they've remained largely unexplored. The finding highlights how much still remains unknown about the human genome.
