Abstract

Despite a conserved requirement in mediating chromosome segregation, kinetochores display remarkable plasticity in their structure and composition. New work in holocentric insect species highlights the molecular rewiring that occurs when key structural components of the kinetochore are lost and centromere structure is changed.
