Abstract
Centromeres of higher eukaryotes are defined by the epigenetic inheritance of the centromere-specific CENP-A nucleosome. Reporting in Developmental Cell, Rosin and Mellone (2016) show that co-evolution of the CENP-A histone variant and its chaperone CAL1 accounts for species incompatibility between centromeric histones in Drosophila.
