title: Ancestral hemoglobin switching in lampreys.
abstract: A very simple hemoglobin switching was discovered in the lamprey Lampetra zanandreai. A single larval globin cDNA and two adult globin cDNAs were fully sequenced and their differential expression during lamprey development was investigated. The evolutionary positions of these new globin sequences are also discussed.
