Complete nucleotide sequence of a cloned chicken a-globin cDNA
Molecular Biology Unit, Research School of Biological Sciences, The Australian National University P.O. Box 475, Canberra City, A.C.T. 2601, Australia
Received March 5, 1980.
Chicken globin double-stranded cDNA was synthesised from anaemic adult reticulocyte
- and ß-globin mPNA and ligated into the Hind III site of pBR322 using synthetic Hind III decamers. Transformation of E. coli x1776 resulted in the production of a number of
- and ß-cDNA clones. One of the
-type clones. (pCG
-8) was fully sequenced and found to code for neither
A-nor
D-globin. Partial sequencing of the other
-cDNA clones indicates that they are all of the same type.
