Sex-specific crossover distributions and variations in interference level along Arabidopsis thaliana chromosome 4.

In many species, sex-related differences in crossover (CO) rates have been described at chromosomal and regional levels. In this study, we determined the CO distribution along the entire Arabidopsis thaliana Chromosome 4 (18 Mb) in male and female meiosis, using high density genetic maps built on la...
