Popis: Minichromosomes have been generated in maize using telomere-mediated truncation. Telomere DNA, because of its repetitive nature, can be difficult to manipulate. The protocols in this unit describe two methods for generating the telomere DNA required for the initiation of telomere-mediated truncation. The resulting DNA can then be used with truncation cassettes for introduction into maize via transformation. © 2016 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
