Clustering of human H1 and core histone genes

Science. 1984 Jun 8;224(4653):1115-7. doi: 10.1126/science.6719136.

Abstract

An H1 histone gene was isolated from a 15-kilobase human DNA genomic sequence. The presence of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 genes in this same 15-kilobase fragment indicates that mammalian core and H1 histone genes are clustered.
