HBB Gene Chromosome Location
The genomic sequence of the HBB gene was retrieved using the Nucleotide data base offered on the NCBI website (Nucleotide, NCBI- Human Beta Globin Genomic Sequence, 2011). The map view of the data base was used to acknowledge the location of the gene on chromosome 11 at locus 11p 15.5 (Fig. 1) (NCBI Map Viewer- Human HBB gene locus, 2011). The entire genomic code of the beta globin gene family was retrieved from Nucleotide (NG_000007.3).
