The detection of a cluster of beta-globin genes in the long arm of chromosome 2 in the domestic hen by using DNA-DNA in situ hybridization]

Using isotopic and nonisotopic methods of in situ hybridization, the localization the beta-like globin gene cluster was established. Molecular hybridization of DNA probes containing embryonic epsilon-globin and adult beta-globin genes revealed the localization of the cluster of the long arm on chromosome 2 (2q).
