摘要
Historically, the metaphase chromosome and its architecture has been viewed as the ultimate representation of a non-functional inactive chromatin state. Recent studies of centromere (kinetochore) function in concert with studies of the placement and function of several classes of chromosomal proteins now call for a reevaluation of this view. In this article a model of chromosome structure with functional correlates is presented. Evidence for the existence of a functional chromosomal region, the "Surface Domain" is discussed.
