Abstract
<h2>Summary</h2> Centromeres, the chromosomal loci that ensure chromosome segregation by directing kinetochore assembly, are typically marked by the histone CENP-A. A study in CENP-A-deficient insects finds that virtually any chromosomal region with low nucleosome turnover can assemble kinetochores, highlighting the extraordinary plasticity of holocentromeres.
