Abstract
The molecular and chromosomal localization of the dunce gene was studied. This gene (167.3 kb) consists almost entirely of introns, in which a cluster of seven short tissue-specific genes is located. On the basis of the results of FISH analysis of the gene fragments, we established that the dunce gene is located within nine chromosomal structures (four bands and five interbands), which contradicts the common idea that genes are located in only one structure (band or interband) or at the boundary of these structures. Our results are quite unexpected and original and greatly expand the current understanding of the genetic organization of interphase chromosomes.
