Functional and comparative analysis of globin loci in pufferfish and humans
17 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
To further our understanding of the regulation of vertebrate globin loci, we have isolated cosmids containing alpha- and beta-globin genes from the pufferfish Fugu rubripes. By DNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis, we show that Fugu contains 2 distinct hemoglobin loci situated on separate chromosomes. One locus contains only alpha-globin genes (alpha-locus), whereas the other also contains a...
