What is another word for linker dna?
Pronunciation: [lˈɪŋkə dˌiːˌɛnˈe͡ɪ] (IPA) 
Linker DNA refers to the short pieces of DNA that separate nucleosomes in eukaryotic chromatin. These linker DNA strands are composed of a repetitive A/T-rich sequence and are believed to be important for promoting higher-order chromatin structures. However, there are various synonyms that scientists use to refer to linker DNA, which includes spacer DNA, intervening DNA, or interstitial DNA. These terms are used interchangeably to refer to DNA fragments that separate nucleosomes. Although they may differ slightly in meaning, they all describe the same function of linker DNA in chromatin organization. Nevertheless, the term "linker DNA" remains the most commonly used and recognized terminology in the field of molecular biology.
