Abstract:
Certain mysteries pointing toward their recruitment pathways, cell cycle regulation mechanisms, spindle checkpoint assembly, and chromosome segregation process are considered the centre of attraction in cancer research. In modern times, with the established databases, ranges of computational platforms have provided a platform to examine almost all the physiological and biochemical evidences in disease-associated phenotypes. Using existing computational methods, we have utilized the amino acid residues to understand the similarity within the evolutionary variance of different associated centromere proteins. This study related to sequence similarity, protein-protein networking, co-expression analysis, and evolutionary trajectory of centromere proteins will speed up the understanding about centromere biology and will create a road map for upcoming researchers who are initiating their work of clinical sequencing using centromere proteins.
