Detecting Meiotic Crossing-Overs in Maize Using Chromatin Immunoprecipitation-Sequencing (ChIP-seq)

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes engage in reciprocal exchanges of segments in a process known as crossing over (CO). About 85% of CO events in maize are products of the class I pathway. Class I COs are interference-sensitive, meaning that the formation of one CO reduces th...
