| Abstract | Red cells of the clam Barbatia reeveana express two hemoglobins, one composed of 16- to 17-kDa chains and the other of 35-kDa chains. The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA encoding the 35-kDa chain shows that the polypeptide has two very similar heme-binding domains, which are joined without use of an additional bridging sequence. Two novel introns occur in the gene for the two-domain globin: one, the 'precoding' intron, is located two bases 5' from the start codon, and the other, a 'bridge' intron, separates the DNA sequences encoding the two domains. Close correspondence exists between the 3' end of the precoding intron and the 3' end of the bridge intron and between parts of the 3' noncoding region of the cDNA for the two-domain globin and the 5' end of the bridge intron. These observations indicate that the bridge intron arose by unequal crossing-over between two identical or very similar genes for a single-domain globin. This conclusion, together with the proposal that exons were initially independent 'minigenes' [Gilbert, W. (1987) Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 52, 901-905], suggests that many introns may have evolved from the 5' noncoding region of one gene and/or the 3' noncoding region of a second gene. This hypothesis implies that splice junctions would be associated with the original NH2 and COOH termini of proteins and provides an explanation for the observation that splice junctions usually map to protein surfaces. They do so because most NH2- and COOH-terminal residues are usually located on or near the surfaces of proteins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
