Three near-complete genome assemblies reveal substantial centromere dynamics from diploid to tetraploid in Brachypodium genus

Centromeres are critical for maintaining genomic stability in eukaryotes, and their turnover shapes genome architectures and drives karyotype evolution. However, the co-evolution of centromeres from different ...
