The replacement histone H2A.Z in a hyperacetylated form is a feature of active genes in the chicken [PDF]
The replacement histone H2A.Z is variously reported as being linked to gene expression and preventing the spread of heterochromatin in yeast, or concentrated at heterochromatin in mammals.

Imaging the Response to DNA Damage in Heterochromatin Domains
The eukaryotic genome is assembled in a nucleoprotein complex called chromatin, whose organization markedly influences the repair of DNA lesions. For instance, compact chromatin states, broadly categorized as heterochromatin, present a challenging ...

Histone variants shape chromatin states in Arabidopsis
How different intrinsic sequence variations and regulatory modifications of histones combine in nucleosomes remain unclear. To test the importance of histone variants in the organization of chromatin we investigated how histone variants and histone ...

Constitutive heterochromatin polymorphism in river buffalo chromosomes [PDF]
Constitutive heterochromatin (HC) distribution among river buffalo (Bubalus bubalis L., 2n=50) chromosomes was analyzed by using both the CBA-technique and GBA + CBA technique. CBA-banding revealed the presence of HC in the centromeric regions of all the chromosomes of the 15 animals we investigated.

ATXR5 and ATXR6 are H3K27 monomethyltransferases required for chromatin structure and gene silencing. [PDF]
Constitutive heterochromatin in Arabidopsis thaliana is marked by repressive chromatin modifications, including DNA methylation, histone H3 dimethylation at Lys9 (H3K9me2) and monomethylation at Lys27 (H3K27me1).

Qualitative analysis of constitutive heterochromatin and primate evolution [PDF]
The results of qualitative heterochromatin analysis in 16 species of primates: Homo sapiens, Pan troglodytes and Gorilla gorilla (F. Hominidae), Hylobates syndactilus (F. Hylobatidae), Macaca fascicularis, M. tibetana, Mandrillus sphinx, M. leucophaeus, Cercopithecus aethiops, C. sabaeus and C. albogularis (F.

Detection of chromosome aberrations in the human interphase nucleus by visualization of specific target DNAs with radioactive and non-radioactive in situ hybridization techniques: diagnosis of trisomy 18 with probe L1.84 [PDF]
The localization of chromosome 18 in human interphase nuclei is demonstrated by use of radioactive and nonradioactive in situ hybridization techniques with a DNA clone designated L1.84.

Accessibility of promoter DNA is not the primary determinant of chromatin-mediated gene regulation [PDF]
DNA accessibility is thought to be of major importance in regulating gene expression. We test this hypothesis using a restriction enzyme as a probe of chromatin structure and as a proxy for transcription factors.

Karyotypic variation in the Andean rodent Phyllotis xanthopygus (Waterhouse, 1837) (Rodentia, Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae) [PDF]
Phyllotis xanthopygus (Waterhouse, 1837) is an Andean rodent endemic to South America. Despite its wide geographical distribution in Argentina, few individuals have been studied on the cytogenetic level and only through conventional staining.
