Abstract excerpt
In many inbred lines of maize, two 27-kDa storage protein (zein) genes are found within tandem duplications of 12 kb. Both genes of the duplicated allele from the maize inbred line A188 were sequenced and compared to a similar duplicated allele in another inbred line, W22, and to a single-copy allele in the inbred line W64A. The comparisons reveal interesting patterns in the distribution of sequence changes...
