Journal ArticleDOI

Nucleotide sequence and the encoded amino acids of human serum albumin mRNA

TL;DR: The complete nucleotide sequence of human serum albumin mRNA has been determined from recombinant cDNA clones and from a primer-extended cDNA synthesis on the mRNA template, which verifies and refines the repeating homology in the triple-domain structure of the serumalbumin molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular structure of the human albumin gene is revealed by nucleotide sequence within q11-22 of chromosome 4.

TL;DR: The human albumin gene spans 16,961 nucleotides from the putative "Cap" site to the first poly(A) addition site and appears to have been recently invaded by Alu repetitive sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure, polymorphism, and novel repeated DNA elements revealed by a complete sequence of the human alpha-fetoprotein gene.

TL;DR: The human alpha-fetoprotein gene spans 19,489 base pairs from the putative "Cap" site to the polyadenylation site, and from phylogenetic evidence, it appears that Alu elements were inserted into the alpha- Fetop Protein gene at some time postdating the mammalian radiation 85 million years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origin and phylogenetic distribution of Alu DNA repeats: irreversible events in the evolution of primates.

TL;DR: The data suggest that new Alu elements arise in unique, irreversible events, in a mechanism that seems to preclude precise excision and loss, and submit that only irreversible and taxonomically relevant events are at the molecular basis of evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Ovalbumin Gene: Cloning of the Natural Gene

TL;DR: The intervening sequences were found to be unique chicken DNA sequences, and appeared to be transcribed in their entireties during gene expression, and like the structural gene sequences, the expression of the intervening sequences is also inducible by steroid hormones.
