abnormal chromatin silencing at centromere decreased chromatin silencing decreased chromatin silencing at centromere reduced chromatin silencing at centromere decreased chromatin silencing at centromere during mitotic cell cycle decreased chromatin silencing at centromere during vegetative growth decreased heterochromatin silencing at centromere A cellular process phenotype observed in the vegetative growth phase of the life cycle in which chromatin silencing at centromeric regions is decreased. FYPO:0002834 2013-11-05T14:24:37Z Chromatin silencing phenotypes may reflect the assembly or maintenance of heterochromatin or CENP-A-containing chromatin. See the GO cellular component terms 'heterochromatin' (GO:0000792) and 'CENP-A containing chromatin' (GO:0061638), and the biological process terms 'heterochromatin organization' (GO:0070828) and 'CENP-A containing chromatin organization' (GO:0061641). midori
