Genome sequence of Maize Chromosome Drive Haplotypes
Genome sequencing data for maize chromosome drive haplotypes. Chromosome drive haplotypes are large mega base scale selfish genetic elements that experience segregation distortion resulting in their over representation in gametes. Examples include abnormal chromosome 10 (Ab10) and K10L2. In lines carrying Ab10 and/or K10L2, knobs are transformed into motile neocentromeres that move poleward in meiosis. When crossed as a female, the Ab10 and K10L2 haplotypes are preferentially transmitted to progeny in a process known as meiotic drive.
