Meiosis at three loci in autotetraploids: Probabilities of gamete modes and genotypes without and with preferential cross-over formation
Dryad
Griswold, Cortland; Asif, Saira — 2023-01-31 <div id="magicparlabel-2542" class="abstract" style="font-size:medium;margin:4ex;">A long-standing goal in the field of polyploid biology has been the derivation of mathematical models of gamete mode formation. These models form the basis of statistical inference and evolutionary theory. Here, we present 3-locus models of gamete mode formation in autotetraploids without and with preferential cross-over formation. The three loci are assumed to occur on one arm of the same chromosome. For preferential cross-over formation, one of the three loci affects the tendency for sets of sister chromatids to pair and therefore affects rates of recombination. The models are derived such that the process of double reduction is a function of rates of synaptic partner switches and recombination, as opposed to being independent of these processes. We assume potentially one synaptic partner switch per meiosis. We also assume the coefficient of coincidence is one, such that cross-over events are independent, given a set of cross-over rates. Illustrative cases are examined demonstrating differences in the gamete mode probabilities without and with preferential cross-over formation. Lastly, we explore the accuracy of maximum likelihood estimates of the probability of synaptic partner switches and preferential cross-over formation when the locus controlling preferences is at a proximal, middle or distal location on the chromosome arm.

1.Turn on the map filter by clicking the “Limit by map area” toggle.
2.Move the map to display your area of interest. Holding the shift key and clicking to draw a box allows for zooming in on a specific area. Search results change as the map moves.
3.Access a record by clicking on an item in the search results or by clicking on a location pin and the linked record title.
Note: Clusters are intended to provide a visual preview of data location. Because there is a maximum of 50 records displayed on the map, they may not be a completely accurate reflection of the total number of search results.
