Abstract

The genetic organization of individual bands of polytene chromosomes is an enigma. On the one hand, we have evidence (Rudkin, 1965; Daneholt and Edström, 1967; Mulder et al, 1968; see also Rasch et al., 1971) that an “average” band contains DNA equivalent to 40,000 or so nucleotide pairs. The range is perhaps between 3000 and 100,000 nucleotide pairs (Beermann, 1972). On the other hand, classical (e.g., Painter, 1934; Bridges, 1935, 1936; Mackensen, 1935; Muller and Prokofyeva, 1935) and more modern (e.g., Hochman, 1971; Lefevre, 1971; Lim et al., 1971; Judd et al., 1972; Rayle, 1972) evidence strongly suggests that one band (or band plus adjacent interband(s), if you will: Crick, 1971) corresponds to a unit of genetic function.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
