Abstract

Using strand-specific reverse transcription followed by Real Time PCR analysis we have characterized the transcription profile of the segment of chicken α-globin gene domain harboring embryonic gene π, adult gene αD and spacer region separating these genes. It has been demonstrated that in erythroid cells of adult lineage the spacer region is transcribed in both directions. These results suggest a possibility that switching of α-globin genes expression is controlled by RNA-interference mechanism.
