Abstract:In this work we report the characterization of the Rhynchosciara
americana histone genes cluster nucleotide sequence. It spans 5,131 bp
and contains the four core histones and the linker histone H1. Putative control
elements were detected. We also determined the copy number of the tandem repeat unit
through quantitative PCR, as well as the unequivocal chromosome location of this
unique locus in chromosome A band 13. The data were compared with histone clusters
from the genus Drosophila, which are the closest k… Show more
