Two chicken repeat one (CR1) elements lacking a silencer-like region upstream of the chicken avidin-related genes Avr4 and Avr5.
Two repetitive elements of the chicken CR1 family, each located in the 5' flanking region of the avidin-related genes Avr4 and Avr5, have been cloned and sequenced. Both elements are 721 bp in length with 72% identity to a CR1 consensus sequence. They had a 191 bp deletion in a region corresponding to the functional silencer regions previously detected within the CR1 elements upstream of the chicken lysozyme and apoVLDLII genes.
