The Location and Effects of Factors Controlling Recombination in Linkage Group I of Neurospora

Abstract

<p> It was known, prior to this study, that there is a factor, or factors, in the centromere-proximal region of Neurospora sitophila which affect recombination near the centromere whether it is in Neurospora sitophila or transferred to Neurospora crassa. A location of this factor, or factors, was performed using tetrad and prototroph analysis. Further mapping of linkage group I of Neurospora crassa was undertaken when the Neurospora sitophila centromere-proximal region was present.</p>
