Abstract
Globin messenger RNA (mRNA) isolated from three patients homozygous for hemoglobin Lepore is shown to have a marked reduction of the amount of beta-like globin mRNA (Lepore-globin mRNA sequences) compared with alpha-globin mRNA by molecular hybridization. The relative amounts of alpha- and Lepore mRNA are similar to the amounts of alpha- and Lepore globin synthesized in intact cells and by isolated mRNA in a cell-free system. It is also demonstrated that Lepore-globin mRNA can completely hybridize to full-length or nearly full-length beta-globin specific complementary DNA and protect it from nuclease digestion, indicating close homology between the delta-mRNA sequences present in Lepore mRNA and the beta-complementary-DNA probe. We have also quantitated the numbers of beta-like globin gene sequences in genomic Lepore DNA by molecular hybridization and demonstrated a reduction in their number consistent with the Lepore gene being a delta beta-gene fusion product.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
