Genomic and epigenomic maps of mouse centromeres and pericentromeres.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Satellite DNA comprises ~11% of the mouse genome and is primarily located in centromeres and pericentromeres. We present comprehensive genomic and epigenomic maps of these regions utilizing Hifiasm assemblies, CUT&RUN-seq, DNA methylation analysis, and RNA-seq alongside recent mouse telomere-to-telomere assembly drafts. We show that 120-mer Minor satellites (MiSats) occupy core centromeres, while MiSat length variants localize at centromere-pericentric junctions. Pericentromeres contain mostly homogeneous Major satellites (MaSats), with divergent MaSats concentrated near pericentric non-satellite repeat islands and pericentric-chromosomal junctions. Most centromeres contain higher-order repeats (HORs), with shorter HORs more common. Centromeres are hypomethylated compared to pericentromeres, and transcripts are detected from a small subset of satellites with lower DNA methylation. CENP-A is highly enriched at 120-mer MiSats but reduced at MiSat length variants. Homogeneous MaSats are enriched with H3K9me3, whereas divergent MaSats are associated with H3K9me3 and H3K27me3. Finally, the density and type of satellite sequence motifs correlate with chromatin signatures.
