Abstract
Rat neuronal identifier (ID) elements are located in chromatin regions that are organized in nucleosomal structures in both neuronal and non-neuronal cells. A subpopulation of ID sequences in chromatin of liver and kidney cells are relatively resistant to micrococcal nuclease digestion and are organized in nucleosomes exhibiting an atypically short repeat length. Other repetitive elements do not show this organization.Keywords
