Abstract excerpt
The chicken H3 histone gene family contains nine members belonging to two major histone gene clusters. Six of these genes have been sequenced and shown to encode two different H3 protein variants. Five H3 genes (H3-I, -II, -IV, -V, and -VI) encode the same amino acid sequence (class I) and another H3 gene (H3-III) differs from class I in a single amino acid (IIe113-Met) (class II). H3-II and H3-III have inverted...
