To fully understand genome function, the linear genome map must be integrated with a spatial map of chromosomes in the nucleus. Distinct nuclear addresses for a few human chromosomes have been… (More)
We have previously mapped the human azoospermia factor to a deletion in Y chromosome interval 6 (subinterval XII-XIV). We now report the isolation and characterization of a gene family located within… (More)
In the developing mouse, the Wilms' tumour gene, WT1, is first expressed in the intermediate mesenchyme lateral to the coelomic cavity (13 somite, early 9 dpc embryo). A few hours later, it is… (More)
Spatial organisation of the genome within the nucleus can play a role in maintaining the expressed or silent state of some genes [1]. There are distinct addresses for specific chromosomes, which have… (More)
The Nuclear Protein Database (NPD) is a curated database that contains information on more than 1300 vertebrate proteins that are thought, or are known, to localise to the cell nucleus. Each entry is… (More)
The mammalian chromosome is longitudinally heterogeneous in structure and function and this is the basis for the specific banding patterns produced by various chromosome staining techniques. The two… (More)

ATRX is a member of the SNF2 family of helicase/ATPases that is thought to regulate gene expression via an effect on chromatin structure and/or function. Mutations in the hATRX gene cause severe… (More)
Fluorescence in situ hybridisation has been used to follow replication of the short arm of human chromosome 11 using chromosome anomalies to distinguish the maternally-and paternally-derived… (More)
Many nuclear components participating in related pathways appear concentrated in specific areas of the mammalian nucleus. The importance of this organization is attested to by the dysfunction that… (More)
Chromatin remodelling complexes containing the nucleosome-dependent ATPase ISWI were first isolated from Drosophila embryos (NURF, CHRAC and ACF). ISWI was the only common component reported in these… (More)
