DNA and gene distribution in the isochore families of the human genome. The major structural and functional properties associated with each gene space are listed (in blue for the genome desert and in red for the genome core). The top frames are modified from M. Costantini, F. Auletta, and G.B. (unpublished data). SINEs, short interspersed sequences; LINEs, long interspersed sequences.
