Correspondence regarding Alfred Benzon Symposium No. 13, on 'Specific Eukaryotic Genes: Structural Organization and Function', held at the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, 16-20 August, 1978.

Crick provided the opening lecture ("Three Dimensional Structure of the Eurakyotic Chromosome"), subsequently re-titled "Aspects of Chromatin Structure," available in the file in ts and holograph (x 2) drafts.

Also in the file are:

a small pad of notes (holograph) made during the course of the Symposium;
a transcription of discussions, including contributions from Crick;
and two prior Crick texts on chromosomes:
"Postscript," Chromosomes Today, 6 (1977), 403-6;
"Chromosome Structure and Function. Future Prospects," Eur. J. Biochem. (1978).

Two colour photographs in the file show the Symposium in session, with Crick seated nearest to the speaker (see seating-plan sheet).
