Recombination within the human embryonic xi-globin locus: a common xi-xi chromosome produced by gene conversion of the psi xi gene.

The duplicated human embryonic alpha-like globin genes encode a 5' functional zeta (xi 2) gene and a highly homologous pseudogene (psi xi 1). We have identified chromosomes with a xi 2-xi 1 rather than a xi 2-psi xi 1 arrangement by genomic mapping and oligonucleotide analysis. The DNA sequence...
