abnormal CENP-A containing chromatin assembly ectopic CENP-A containing chromatin assembly multiple foci of CENP-A ectopic centromeric DNA replication-independent nucleosome assembly A cellular process phenotype observed in the vegetative growth phase of the life cycle in which chromatin containing the histone H3 variant CenH3 (also called CENP-A; Cnp1 in S. pombe) are assembled in one or more regions of the chromosome away from the centromere. CENP-A-containing nucleosomes are normally assembled into chromatin at the centromeres, encompassing the central core and centromeric inner repeat regions. ectopic CENP-A deposition midori ectopic centromere-specific histone exchange 2017-01-11T14:07:46Z ectopic CENP-A loading ectopic CenH3-containing nucleosome assembly at centromere ectopic CENP-A containing nucleosome assembly during mitotic cell cycle FYPO:0005887 ectopic centromere-specific nucleosome assembly ectopic CENP-A containing nucleosome assembly during vegetative growth ectopic CENP-A containing nucleosome assembly CENP-A containing nucleosome assembly away from centromere
