An epigenetic characterization of Giemsa bands (G bands) revealed their utility as epigenetic units to investigate the differential distribution of linker histones. GC content is a strong driver in histone H1 distribution: H1X is enriched at high GC bands and H1.2 is abundant at low GC, compacted bands. Hi‐C analysis showed that TADs with a high H1.2/H1X ratio strongly overlap with B compartment, inaccessible chromatin and low‐GC bands.
