| puffs | <molecular biology> Expanded areas of a polytene chromosome. at these areas the chromatin becomes less condensed and the fibres unwind, though they remain continuous with the fibres in the chromosome axis.

The pattern of puffing observed in the larvae of Drosophila, in different cells and at different times in development provides possibly the best evidence that differentiation is controlled at the level of transcription.
