molecularNote | A neomycin selection cassette replaced a small 295 bp fragment in the second exon of the gene. Northern blot analysis on RNA derived from homozygous embryos demonstrated that a reduced amount of alpha-globin transcript was present in comparison to wild type. The authors propose that the remaining mRNA arose from the adjacent Hba-a2 gene. |
