The role of heterochromatin in the expression of a heterochromatic gene, the rolled locus of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 May 1993

Eberl D F, Duyf B J, Hilliker A J

Abstract excerpt

Constitutive heterochromatic regions of chromosomes are those that remain condensed through most or all of the cell cycle. In Drosophila melanogaster, the constitutive heterochromatic regions, located around the centromere, contain a number of gene loci, but at a much lower density than euchromatin. In the autosomal heterochromatin, the gene loci appear to be unique sequence genes interspersed among blocks of...
