... we identify the similarities and differences of the locus among the two species and present different methods involved in activation. Introduction The £]-Globin Gene is one of two genes that make up a multigene family. Members of a multigene family not only share DNA-sequence homology, but also have gene products that are functionally associated (Klug and Cummings, 566). The globin genes of ... linked genes at all sites of integration examined and at moderately constant levels per gene copy (Bulger and Groudine, 1999). Globin gene expression along with chromatin structure and timing of ...
