Lampbrush chromosomes were first observed nearly 100 years ago, and this lecture attem pts a historical survey of what has been learnt from their study, particularly th a t over the past 30 years. There have been many controversies concerning the structure and functional significance of lampbrush chromosomes, and although their general structural layout has now, after several misconceptions, been firmly established their functional significance remains controversial. Research on lampbrush chromosomes played a significant part in establishing tha t chromatids in the germ lines of eukaryotic organisms are unineme in regard to DNA, and thereby exposed the C-value paradox. I t also helped to establish th a t a DNA duplex is continuous throughout the length of a chromatid, but th a t the DNA/histone complex is a t intervals reflected back on itself to form lateral loops. This organization, a t one time thought to be a special feature of lampbrush chromosomes, now appears to be widespread in chromosomes undergoing compaction. However, despite attem pts to determine the sequence organization of those portions of the DNA th a t are transcribed by lampbrush chromosomes, the function of these transcripts remains an open question, and the value paradox is still unresolved.
