Abstract
The study of genome activity in highly differentiated cells provides basic data on the selective use of genetic information in a concrete situation. It is particularly interesting to analyze the work of genes in the nerve tissue, which is the most complexly organized system of highly differentiated cells. Genetic engineering makes it possible to clone genes functioning in a particular kind of cells using appropriate mRNA or cDNA copies as starting material. It is important to analyze not only active unique genes but also the repetitive sequences working in differentiated cells which may be involved in the regulation of gene activity.
