Initial characterization of several actin genes in the parasitic nematode, Ascaris suum.
Southern hybridization data suggest a large actin gene family in Ascaris suum. Our genomic reconstruction experiment indicated that it consists of 50-75 members. Polymorphism was uncovered in the actin genes or in their surrounding sequences. From the genomic library 5 nonoverlapping actin clones were isolated and characterized.
