Abstract excerpt
Overlapping genomic clones of the human alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M) gene were isolated from a cosmid library and were used to map 80 kb of the chromosomal region of this gene. Fragments carrying the two exons encoding the bait region and the exon encoding the thiolester site were partially sequenced and PCR primers were designed for the amplification of both functional domains. By direct genomic sequencing...
