A new approach to isolating chromatin and DNA from human placental nuclei is described. Criteria of purity are given by spectrophotometry and chemical analysis. Chromatin and DNA keep their template efficiencies after isolation. We used them in a transcription system where wheat germ RNA polymerase intervenes. The role of histones was tested on this system.
