Maize heterochromatic knobs cheat female meiosis by forming neocentromeres that bias their segregation into the future egg cell. In this issue of Genes & Development, Swentowsky and colleagues (pp. 1239–1251) show that two types of knobs, those composed of 180-bp and TR1 sequences, recruit their own novel and divergent kinesin-14 family members to form neocentromeres.

玉米芯中的混合旋钮。

玉米异色瘤通过形成新着丝粒而欺骗女性减数分裂，使它们偏向未来的卵细胞。Swentowsky及其同事（第1239–1251页）在本期《基因与发展》中指出，两种类型的纽结（由180 bp和TR1序列组成），募集了自己独特的驱动蛋白14家族新成员，从​​而形成了新的着丝粒。
