Rat liver telomeric DNA is organised into nucleosomes characterised by a shorter and more homogeneous average nucleosomal repeat than bulk chromatin as shown by Makarov et al. (1). The latter authors were unable to detect the association of any linker histone with the telomeric DNA. We have confirmed these observations but show that in sharp contrast chicken erythrocyte telomeric DNA is organised into nucleosomes whose spacing length and heterogeneity are indistinguishable from those of bulk chr ...[more]
