The organization of the beta-globin gene of the bivalve mollusc Anadara trapezia and its evolutionary relationship to other invertebrate and vertebrate globin genes.

Abstract excerpt

Three pairs of oligonucleotide primers based on partial DNA and amino acid sequences were used in a combination of PCR experiments to amplify the beta-globin gene of the bivalve mollusc Anadara trapezia. The sequence of 2,139 bp presented contains the whole of the beta-globin gene with the exception of the 5' flanking sequence. This gene possesses the three-exon-and-two-intron gene structure typical of vertebrate...
