We present a detailed picture of the disposition of the histone genes in the chicken genome and an almost complete set of the core histone protein sequences. Thirty-nine histone genes, six H1, nine H2A, eight H2B, eight H3 and eight H4, were located within a histone gene cluster of 110 kb, which was covered by five cosmid clones and two lambda clones. Results of our sequence analyses, together with those reported previously, generated a set of the core histone amino acid sequences as follows: three H2A variants, four H2B variants, two H3 variants and an H4 protein.
