Abstract excerpt
Messenger RNA contains untranslated 3' and 5' regions (3' and 5' UTRs) with sequence elements that are essential for the regulation of gene expression. A systematic search of GenBank revealed a large number of mononucleotide repeats within these UTRs. We selected 35 such mononucleotide repeats ranging in length from 15 bp to 32 bp and analysed their size in a series of 60 normal individuals. The conservation of...
