Multiple phases of nucleosomes in the hsp 70 genes of Drosophila melanogaster
Department of Cell Biology, Biocenter of the University Klingelbergstr. 70, CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland
Received October 2, 1980. The arrangement of the nucleosomes with respect to the DNA sequence has been examined in the genes coding for the major heat shock protein (hsp 70) in Drosophila. In the repressed state of the genes, the nucleosomes are precisely phased in at least three frames.
