Chromoanagenesis in the asy1 meiotic mutant of Arabidopsis
crossref(2022)
Abstract
AbstractChromoanagenesis is a catastrophic event that involves localized chromosomal shattering and reorganization. In this study, we report a case of chromoanagenesis resulting from defective meiosis in the MEIOTIC ASYNAPTIC MUTANT 1 (asy1) background in Arabidopsis thaliana. We provide a detailed characterization of the genomic structure of this individual with a severely shattered segment of chromosome 1. We reveal more than 300 candidate novel DNA junctions in the affected region, confirming that asy1-related defective meiosis is a potential trigger for chromoanagenesis. This is the first example of chromoanagenesis associated with female meiosis and indicates the potential for genome evolution during oogenesis.
