Reprinted from Annual Report of the Director of the Department of Genetics, Carnegie Institution of Washington Yearbook No. 42, 1943. In this report, McClintock used the BFB cycle to explore the effects of loss of increasingly larger amounts of a chromosome. The broader implications of her findings hinted toward the possibility of purposely generating specific mutations, a potentially powerful tool for mapping genes along a chromosome arm.
