Mechanisms of centromere drive. (A) Stronger centromeres have more minor satellite repeats and build larger kinetochores that recruit more destabilizers than weaker centromeres. (B) The cortical positioning of the spindle induces microtubule tyrosination, leading to directional flipping until the stronger centromeres are preferentially oriented towards the egg side.
