Abstract excerpt
Globin genes from the Caenorhabditis species briggsae and remanei were identified and compared with a previously described C. elegans globin gene. The encoded globins share between 86% and 93% amino acid identity, with most of the changes in or just before the putative B helix. C. remanei was found to have two globin alleles, Crg1-1 and Crg1-2. The coding sequence for each is interrupted by a single intron in the...
