  "summary": "Kinetochores are multiprotein complexes that drive chromosome segregation in eukaryotes. Kinetoplastids, a group of early-diverging eukaryotes that lack canonical kinetochore components, have a unique set of kinetochore proteins. How their kinetochores are assembled specifically at centromeres in the absence of a centromere-specific histone H3 variant CENP-A remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate…",
