Abstract excerpt
Recombination mapping defined a 6-kb region, 100 kb upstream of the transcription start site, that is required for B-I enhancer activity and paramutation-a stable, heritable change in transcription caused by allele interactions in maize (Zea mays). In this region, B-I and B' (the only b1 alleles that participate in paramutation) have seven tandem repeats of an 853-bp sequence otherwise unique in the genome; other...
