CentriVision: An integrated platform for multiscale centromere analysis in plants.

ABSTRACT: Centromeres are essential for accurate chromosome segregation and genome stability; with the advent of telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies, they have become central targets of genome-wide studies. Here, we present CentriVision, a modular bioinformatics platform that integrates candidate centromere identification, structural similarity assessment, DNA repeat unit decomposition, and a framework for exploring potential relationships between single-nucleotide conservation and functional features. CentriVision provides a comprehensive suite of analytical tools, including edit-distance dot plots, intra-segment heatmaps, kilobase-scale mini-dot plots, repeat monomer scanning with conserved-site visualization, and satellite DNA expansion-divergence estimation, all of which can be seamlessly int
