High quality maize centromere 10 sequence reveals evidence of frequent recombination events

High quality maize centromere 10 sequence reveals evidence of frequent recombination events

The ancestral centromeres of maize contain long stretches of the tandemly arranged CentC repeat. The abundance of tandem DNA repeats and centromeric retrotransposons (CR) have presented a significant challenge to completely assembling centromeres using traditional sequencing methods. Here we report...
