Cloning and amplification of alpha and beta mouse globin gene sequences synthesised in vitro.
New chimeric Escherichia coli plasmids containing alpha or beta globin gene sequences of the mouse were constructed. Double-stranded DNA, synthesised in vitro in a 2-step reaction from mouse globin mRNA was inserted into E. coli plasmid pCR1, after tailing of the 2 DNAs with dG and dC respectively. Some of the mouse globin plasmids described contain at least 90% of the globin mRNA sequence and therefore contain the entire translated sequence of the globin genes. Some possible uses of these recombinant plasmids are described.
