As a minimum, start with 135 amino acids. This is the length of histone H3. All mammals have two forms differing by one serine-cystein change at position 96. Interestingly, in human and cow, 80% of the protein is H3.1, but in rodents 80% of the protein is H3.2. The other histones are similar in size, and probably also have identical variants in both cows and rodents. I don't have the exact reference off the top of my head, but every 2-3 years Dan Wells publishes a big compilation of all histone sequences in the supplement to NAR. Ron DeBry debry@ds1.scri.fsu.edu
