Method / resource The maize B73-Ab10 assembly has 63 contigs and N50 of 162 Mb.
Method / resource Chromosome 9 was assembled gaplessly at 162 Mb.
Method / resource The assembly includes 53 Mb of the Ab10 meiotic drive haplotype.
Method / resource The data reveal internal structure of seven centromeres and five heterochromatic knobs.
Observation Major repeat arrays are discontinuous and often interspersed with retroelements.
