Depositor Comments

The accession number for H2B.1 sequence X57127 was obtained from Fraser et al., 2005 (https://doi.org/10.1002/gene.20139). The actual DNA was PCR amplified from HEK293 genomic DNA then cloned into pEGFP-N1 as described in Kanda et al., 1998 (https://doi.org/10.1016/s0960-9822(98)70156-3). That H2B.1-EGFP construct was used as template to synthesize the construct here. An EcoRI site in the H2B.1 sequence was silently mutated. The mCherry cDNA was obtained from Dr. Roger Tsien.
