Isolation and characterization of a human collagen α 1(I)-like gene from a cosmid library

We have isolated a human collagen α1(I)-like gene from a cosmid library. The clone which contains 37kb of human DNA has been shown to contain this gene by DNA sequencing, hybrid arrest and hybrid selection assays and Northern blot hybridizations. The collagen gene sequence extends through most of the cloned DNA and must, therefore, be at least 35kb in length. © 1982 IRL Press Limited.link_to_OA_fulltex
