Dipterans belonging to the Sciaridae family display nuclear features that have not beeen observed in species currently in the Order. With regard to telomeric regions, short repetitive sequences were characterised in Rhynchosciara americana, in contrast to telomere retrotransposons of Drosophila as well as complex repeats in chironomid species. However, processes and mechanims involved in …
Heterochromatin, of widespread occurrence in eukaryotic cell types, was initially described to make reference to chromosomal regions that do not expand after cell division, and remain thus compacted throughout the cell cycle. The heterochromatin is maily composed of highly repetitive DNA complexed with histone and non histone specific proteins and generally appears associated with chromos…
