Nonintercalating DNA-binding ligands: Specificity of the interaction and their use as tools in
biophysical, biochemical and biological investigations of the genetic material - ScienceDirect Skip to …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the functional aspects of satellite DNA and
heterochromatin. Despite all attempts to formulate simple rules governing satellite evolution …

A euchromatic gene placed in the vicinity of heterochromatin by a chromosomal
rearrangement generally exhibits position effect variegation (PEV), a clonally inherited …

Heterochromatin in Drosophila has unusual genetic, cytological and molecular properties.
Highly repeated DNA sequences (satellites) are the principal component of …

The origin recognition complex (ORC) is required to initiate eukaryotic DNA replication and
also engages in transcriptional silencing in S. cerevisiae. We observed a striking preferential …

Drosophila's importance as a model organism made it an obvious choice to be among the
first genomes sequenced, and the Release 1 sequence of the euchromatic portion of the …

By applying quinacrine-, Hoechst-and N-banding techniques to neuroblast prometaphase
chromosomes the Y chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster can be differentiated into 25 …

The purpose of this chapter in FlyBook is to acquaint the reader with the Drosophila genome
and the ways in which it can be altered by mutation. Much of what follows will be familiar to …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the terms “euchromatin” and “heterochromatin”
that have long been familiar for expressing primarily the state of chromatin condensation …

Drosophila melanogaster is certainly the most widespread and common Drosophila species.
It was first described from Austrian specimens by Meigen in 1830, and used for inbreeding …
