Single gametophyte sequencing reveals that crossover events differ between sexes in maize, Published online: 15 February 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08786-x

Meiotic crossover (CO) landscape differs inter- and intra-species, as well as between sexes. Here, the authors show that male meiosis produces more COs than female in maize and detect CO maturation inefficiency in some genetic backgrounds, which may help to improve breeding efficiency.
