Abstract
We have analysed the patterns of DNase I/nick translation in the chrom osomes of the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus erythropos. Sites of preferential DNase I-nicking were concentrated at the distal chromosom e regions, thus showing the non-uniform DNase I sensitivity of differe nt chromosome domains. Among centromeric C-bands, the heterochromatin of metacentric and acrocentric chromosomes differed with respect to th eir DNase I resistance.
