Abstract excerpt
A classical notion regarding the expression of murine embryonic zeta- and adult alpha-globin genes holds that there is a switch in globin production from the embryonic to the adult form during fetal development. Our previous in situ hybridization studies challenged this view, since both zeta- and...
