Abstract excerpt
The alphaB-crystallin and HspB2 genes are located approximately 0.9 kb apart in a head-to-head arrangement in mammals. Previous experiments have shown that a truncated -668/+45 alphaB-crystallin enhancer/promoter fragment from blind mole rats (Spalax ehrenbergi), which have nonfunctional lenses,...
