These data show that the large Release 3 sequence contigs extend into the centric heterochromatin on these five chromosome arms.
It is interesting to speculate that chromatin differences and transcriptional differences between chromosome arms and centric regions will turn out to be related to different mechanisms for loading and removal of cohesin from these regions.
In order to correlate heterochromatin cytology with the genome sequence, we mapped the boundaries of the euchromatin and centric heterochromatin on chromosome arms X, 2L, 2R, 3L and 3R by FISH of BAC-derived probes to mitotic chromosomes (see Materials and methods).
By this definition, the Release 3 sequence that spans the euchromatin includes 2.1 Mb of sequence in centric heterochromatin, and this sequence includes 150 curated genes described in Misra et al.
For example, a hallmark of heterochromatin is a high density of transposable elements, and the density of these elements in the genomic sequence increases continuously toward the centric ends of the euchromatic portions of the chromosome arms [ 12, 31, 32].
