Abstract
AbstractIt has long been known that chiasmata are not independently generated along the chromosome, a phenomenon known aschiasma interference. In this paper, I suggest a model of chiasma interference that generalizes thePoisson model, thecounting model, thePoisson-skip modeland thetwo-pathway counting modelinto a single framework, and use it to derive infinite series expressions for the sterility and recombination pattern probabilities in inversion homo- and heterokaryotypes, and a closed-form expression for the special case of the two-pathway counting model in homokaryotypes.
