Abstract excerpt
Exon 1 of globin gene ct-13RT in clone lambdagb2-1 from Chironomus thummi contains a 444nt SINE (CTRT1). Based on in situ hybridization to polytene salivary gland chromosomes, C. thummi (ct), C. piger (cp) and C. tentans (ctn) contain copies of CTRT1 at multiple chromosomal loci. Genomic PCR amplifications reveal interrupted (ct-13RT) and uninterrupted (ct-13) alleles of the globin gene in the German population...
