Isolation of DNA from single microsurgically excised bands of polytene chromosomes of Chironomus.

Abstract:

:A method is described for excising by a glass knife single bands of isolated polytene chromosomes of the salivary glands of Chironomus tentans larvae. DNA strands were isolated from cut-out bands and their contour lengths were determined on electron micrographs. The mean contour length of DNA strands isolated from the double band I-8A was about twice that of the single band I-11B, namely 63 versus 34 micrometers. The described method may be applicable for molecular studies on single bands (e.g., by DNA cloning).

  • The diameter of chromatin fibres depends on linker length.

    abstract::We have studied the diameter of chromatin fibres embedded in epoxy resins for three different materials: mouse thymus, chicken erythrocytes and sea cucumber spermatozoa. We confirm that the diameter of chromatin fibres increases with linker length, both values being influenced by the protein composition of chromatin. ...
