Over 8,000 gapless human centromeres reveal population-stratified satellite-array, inversion and haplotype variation, multiple candidate kinetochore sites in 16.8% of centromeres, and single-base substitution rates comparable to flanking pericentromeres.

The paper introduces ASMaid, a method to detect archaic introgression sequences in human genomes, revealing more complete and diverse archaic segments than previous methods.
