HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: H2BC7
Cytogenetic location: 6p22.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:26,199,516-26,199,988 (from NCBI)
For background information on histones, histone gene clusters, and the H2B histone family, see HIST1H2BA (609904).
By analysis of a YAC contig from chromosome 6p21.3, Albig et al. (1997) characterized a cluster of 35 histone genes that included H2B/g.
By genomic sequence analysis, Marzluff et al. (2002) determined that the histone gene cluster on chromosome 6p22-p21, which they called histone gene cluster-1 (HIST1), contains 55 histone genes, including HIST1H2BF.
See HIST1H2BA (609904) for functional information on H2B histones.
