Abstract

Recent experiments using stably transformed genes in mouse and Drosophila have demonstrated that elimination of euchromatic position effects can be used as a functional assay for domain boundaries. These studies will lead to an analysis of boundary structure, and in addition will provide clues to the mechanism(s) of gene regulation by higher order chromatin packaging.
