Creator:

McClintock, Barbara, 1902-1992
Creighton, Harriet B.

Date:

1931

Description:

In this paper, McClintock and Creighton conclusively demonstrated the occurrence of genetic and cytological crossingover, a process assumed but not proven since 1910. In it they took two genetic markers and two cytological markers and demonstrated that when crossing-over occurred, they traveled together.
