title: Genes for gamma-globin in human adult erythroid DNA.
abstract: Purified gamma-globin specific complementary DNA has been used to demonstrate the presence of the gene for gamma-globin in DNA from human adult red blood cells. This finding sheds doubt on any theory involving looping-out excision of genes to explain the switch over from synthesis of gamma-globin to beta-globin at birth.
