Heterochromatic self-association, a determinant of nuclear organization, does not require sequence homology in Drosophila.

Genetics - 1 Nov 2003

Sage Brian T, Csink Amy K

Abstract excerpt

Chromosomes of higher eukaryotes contain blocks of heterochromatin that can associate with each other in the interphase nucleus. A well-studied example of heterochromatic interaction is the brown(Dominant) (bwD) chromosome of D. melanogaster, which contains an approximately 1.6-Mbp insertion of AAGAG repeats near the distal tip of chromosome 2. This insertion causes association of the tip with the centric...
