Abstract
This paper introduces CentIER, the first bioinformatic tool designed to detect complete centromeric regions without additional wet experiments. The accuracy of CentIER was validated on diverse plant genomes such as Arabidopsis, rice, maize and mulberry, and the results show that CentIER can perform significantly more complete and accurate detection than the existing tool.
