We provide evidence for the location of matrix attachment sites along a
contiguous region of 280 kb on maize chromosome 1. We define nine potential
loops that vary in length from 6 kb to >75 kb. The distribution of the
different classes of DNA within this continuum with respect to the
predicted structural loops reveals an interesting correlation: the long
stretches of mixed classes of highly repetitive DNAs are often segregated
into topologically sequestered units, whereas low-copy-number DNAs
(including the alcohol dehydrogenase1 [adh1] gene) are positioned in
separate loops. Contrary to expectations, several classes of highly
repeated elements with representatives in this region were found to be
transcribed, and some of these exhibited tissue-specific patterns of
expression.
