"In one of her seminal contributions Barbara McClintock describes the mechanism leading to the formation of ring/deleted chromosomes in maize and the aberrant mitotic behaviour leading to 'variable mutant characteristics'. This mechanism, a break within the centromere together with a break in either the long or the short arm, creating a small ring, has been called "centromere misdivision"; these authors propose that this be referred to as "the McClintock mechanism". McClintock also describes pachytene configurations in microsporocytes, showing that although the normal, deleted and ring chromosomes may synapse, the ring is also seen with the centromeric region attached to a non-homologous bivalent."

by chromosomal origin for sSMC formed by pseudo-McClintock mechanism


However, it turned out that similar to McClintock mechanism with ring chromosome formation, there are cases which seem to evolve by a related mechnaism, called pseudo-McClintock mechansim.
