For background information on histones, histone gene clusters, and the H2B histone family, see HIST1H2BA (609904).
By genomic sequence analysis, Marzluff et al. (2002) identified the mouse and human HIST1H2BK genes.
By genomic sequence analysis, Marzluff et al. (2002) determined that the histone gene cluster on chromosome 6p22-p21, which they called histone gene cluster-1 (HIST1), contains 55 histone genes, including HIST1H2BK.
See HIST1H2BA (609904) for functional information on H2B histones.
