We isolated genomic clones containing sequences encoding globins I and IA from a Chironomus thummi thummi genomic library. Three clones contain globin IA (ctt-lA) genes, while one contains a globin I (ctt-1) gene. The coding regions of the four genes are identical except for the single base substitu
