PCR analysis of chromosomal DNA from a panel of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids revealed that the five human H1 histone genes H1.1 to H1.5 and the gene encoding the testis-specific H1t subtype, all of which form clusters with core histone genes, are located on chromosome 6. The H1(0) subtype, which is not neighbored by core histone genes, maps to chromosome 22. Fluorescence in situ hybridization with human metaphase chromosomes and PCR analysis of somatic cell hybrid DNA carrying only fragments of chromosome 6 revealed the region 6p21.1 to 6p22.2 as the histone gene cluster region.

D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories. Sequence Data, Molecular,Molecular Sequencing Data,Data, Molecular Sequence,Data, Molecular Sequencing,Sequencing Data, Molecular
D002892 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 22 A specific pair of GROUP G CHROMOSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 22
D002896 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 6 A specific pair GROUP C CHROMSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 6
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D005810 Multigene Family A set of genes descended by duplication and variation from some ancestral gene. Such genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome or dispersed on different chromosomes. Examples of multigene families include those that encode the hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, histocompatibility antigens, actins, tubulins, keratins, collagens, heat shock proteins, salivary glue proteins, chorion proteins, cuticle proteins, yolk proteins, and phaseolins, as well as histones, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA genes. The latter three are examples of reiterated genes, where hundreds of identical genes are present in a tandem array.

D006657 Histones Small chromosomal proteins (approx 12-20 kD) possessing an open, unfolded structure and attached to the DNA in cell nuclei by ionic linkages. Classification into the various types (designated histone I, histone II, etc.) is based on the relative amounts of arginine and lysine in each.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.
