Abstract
The results of the works carried out in the Laboratory of Molecular Cytogenetics (Institute of Cytology and Genetics of Siberian Branch of the RAS, Novosibirsk) devoted to the molecular genetic analysis of main units of polytene chromosomes, bands, interbands, and puffs, as well as intercalary and pericentric heterochromatin, are summarized. The results are discussed in terms of the dynamic model of organization of polytene chromosomes.
