摘要

The kinetochore drives faithful chromosome segregation in all eukaryotes, yet the underlying machinery is diverse across species. D'Archivio and Wickstead (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201608043) apply sensitive homology predictions to identify proteins in kinetoplastids with similarity to canonical outer kinetochore proteins, suggesting some degree of universality in the eukaryotic kinetochore.
