Abstract

A recombinant DNA library was screened for histone H4 genes using a sea urchin probe. One recombinant was analysed by restriction enzyme mapping and Southern blotting. The complete DNA sequence of the H4 histone locus was determined. An 86 base pair interrupting sequence was found within the histone H4 coding sequence. The inserted DNA fragment has some characteristics of a transposable element.
