Isolation of a clone containing human histone genes.

S J Clark, P A Krieg, J R Wells
PMCID: PMC326783  PMID: 6262733

Abstract

A recombinant clone containing human histone genes has been isolated. The clone, lambda HH-01, was selected from a genomal library using chicken histone cDNA and a cloned fragment containing chicken histone genes as probes. Sub-clones from lambda HH-01 have been mapped and coding regions located with cDNA. The human H3 gene has been identified by DNA sequence analysis.
