Abstract
It had been apparent to many of the earliest observers of lampbrush chromosomes that their organization, notably the extreme state of dispersion of those nuclear materials that stain with basic dyes in histological preparations, is connected with a preponderance of anabolic activity in oocytes. Many years were to pass before RNA, and the nature of its synthesis, had been discovered, and of its relationship to protein synthesis. Information that had accrued by the late 1950s was reviewed in Chap. 1.
