Sequences encoding two trypsin inhibitors occur in strikingly similar genomic environments

Abstract:
The nucleotide sequences of two approx. 4 kilobase pair segments of the bovine genome are presented. One segment contains a coding region for bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) and the other segment contains a coding region for a BPTI homologue. The two 4 kilobase pair sequences are strikingly similar over approx. 3.4 kilobase pairs of their sequence, including putative intron sequences, suggesting that they have evolved from a gene duplication event.
