Genes are found inside choromosomes Genes are located on chromosomes, which are organized structures of DNA and protein. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of the cell. Actually, a gene itself is coded for by the base sequence (the adenine-thymine and cytosine-guanine sequence) of a DNA strand.
Additional nucleotide sequence was found in the 5 -UTRs of both Leghorn. and turkey cDNAs that was not present in broilers or the red jungle fowl. The turkey ghrelin gene, sequenced from genomic DNA tem-. plates, contained Wve exons and four introns, a structure similar to mammalian and chicken ghrelin genes. Ghrelin was highly expressed in proventriculus with much lower levels of expression in other tissues such as pancreas, brain, and intestine.
