Abstract
Two repetitive elements of the chicken CR1 family, each located in the 5' flanking region of the avidin-related genes Avr4 and Avr5, have be en cloned and sequenced. Both elements are 721 bp in length with 72% i dentity to a CR1 consensus sequence. They had a 191 bp deletion in a r egion corresponding to the functional silencer regions previously dete cted within the CR1 elements upstream of the chicken lysozyme and apoV LDLII genes.
