[The structure of the fragments of 3 exons of the myoglobin gene in the Baikal seal Phoca sibirica].

Three exon regions of the myoglobin gene of Baikal seal Phoca sibirica have been amplified and sequenced. The sequences have been found identical to those for the myoglobin gene of the North Atlantic seal Halichoerus grypus. Thus, these seal species have separated not earlier than 2.2 billion years before present.
