Eukaryotic chromosomes are thought to be subdivided into a series of structurally and functionally independent units. Critical to this hypothesis is the identification of insulator or boundary elements that delimit chromosomal domains. The properties of a Notch mutation, facet-strawberry (fa(swb)), suggest that this small deletion disrupts such a boundary element. fa(swb) is located in the interband separating...
