1. in the fruit fly, genes from rRNA can be replicated more or less often
compared to the rest of the chromatin depending on the needs of the cell.
2. in the human beta-globin, two introns are spliced out in order to produce
the mature mRNA.
3. DNA methylation can change the degree of condensation of the
chromatin.
4. The mouse REST gene is under the control of a promoter region that
contains alternative promoters.
