ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed generally to an isolated nucleic acid molecule encompassing a neocentromere or a functional derivative thereof or a latent, synthetic or hybrid form thereof and its use inter alia in developing a range of eukaryotic artificial chromosomes including mammalian (e.g. human) and non-mammalian an artificial chromosomes. Such artificial chromosomes are useful in a range of genetic therapies.
