Genes identified by visible mutant phenotypes show increased bias toward one of two subgenomes of maize.

Not all genes are created equal. Despite being supported by sequence conservation and expression data, knockout homozygotes of many genes show no visible effects, at least under laboratory conditions. We have identified a set of maize (Zea mays L.) genes which have been the subject of a disproportio...
