Abstract

Various methods of electrophoresis, blotting and hybridization of poly (A)-pre-mRNA with four different DNA-probes have revealed existence of α- and β1-globin-specific transcripts of discrete length, several times longer than the corresponding genes from cap to poly (A) addition sites. The results obtained permit concluding on ambiguity of transcription boundaries of eucaryotic genes.
