Abstract
We now know that the development of organisms depends on the selective turning off and on of individual genes at particular times during the development of the organism. The understanding of development of higher creatures is therefore the understanding of the control of gene expression. One way to approach the control of gene expression is to study the control of gene expression with isolated interphase chromosomes, the state in which chromosomes express themselves by transcription into messenger RNAs or premessenger RNAs. During the last twenty years the study of isolated interphase chromosomes, called chromatin, has become a major subject of modern biology. We start herewith with the isolation of interphase chromatin.
