| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using C. elegans, we tried to visualize chromatin status of a specific gene (egl-18). We established a reporter array containing hundreds copies of the gene promoter and the lacO sequence, and measured changes of nuclear positions of the array during cell differentiation using lacI::GFP, enabling us to visualize dynamics of a single gene locus during development. In addition, by immunostaining using anti-modified histone antibodies, we succeeded to visualize dynamic changes of histone marks on this gene during development.
