Mu transposon insertion sites and meiotic recombination events co-localize with epigenetic marks for open chromatin across the maize genome.
The Mu transposon system of maize is highly active, with each of the approximately 50-100 copies transposing on average once each generation. The approximately one dozen distinct Mu transposons contain highly similar approximately 215 bp terminal inverted repeats (TIRs) and generate 9-bp target site...
