This spacer region coincided with the presence of an intron between the zinc fingers in the DNA sequence of the group C genes. |
The fragments were cloned and DNA sequencing demonstrated that they actually corresponded to cDNA with proper intron splicing. |
Each intron is removed in a separate series of reactions by a complicated piece of enzymatic machinery called a spliceosome. |
The second insertion traps an exon of a different gene contained in an intron of the former gene. |
The dashed line and lowercase letters represent intron sequences and the solid line and uppercase letters represent exon sequences. |
There are also two dinucleotide microsatellites and one mononucleotide microsatellite, all in the first intron. |
