Although fusions between the centromeres of different human chromosomes have been observed cytologically in cancer cells, since the centromeres are long arrays of satellite sequences, the details of these fusions have been difficult to investigate. We developed methods of detecting recombination within the centromeres of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (intercentromere recombination). These events occur at similar rates (about 10−8/cell division) between two active or two inactive centromeres. We mapped the breakpoints of most of the recombination events to a region of 43 base pairs of uninterrupted homology between the two centromeres. By whole-genome DNA sequencing, we showed that most (>90%) of the events occur by non-reciprocal recombination (gene conversion/break-induced replication). We also found that intercentromere recombination can involve non-homologous chromosome, generating whole-arm translocations. In addition, intercentromere recombination is associated with very frequent chromosome missegregation. These observations support the conclusion that intercentromere recombination generally has negative genetic consequences.
