Abstract excerpt
Northern blot and nucleotide sequence analyses of copia RNA from a transfectant made by introducing a genomic copia into copia-free cells showed that the 2 kb RNA, one of the major transcripts of copia, is generated through splicing. Using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we have also found that the position of the splice sites used in Drosophila larvae and cultured cells originally containing copia is the...
