PCR was carried out on cDNA which had been synthesized from poly(A)+ RNA extracted from A. trapezia red blood cells. 2. A 348 bp product encoding the C-terminal region of the alpha-globin chain and another product encoding a portion of the beta-globin chain were isolated. 3. The C-terminal alpha-chain sequence, encoded by the cDNA, differs from the previously published sequence and these changes improve the alignment of this chain with the other globin chains of this organism.
