Abstract excerpt
The sequence of the gorilla alpha-fetoprotein gene, including 869 base pairs of the 5' flanking region and 4892 base pairs of the 3' flanking region (24,607 in total), was determined from two overlapping lambda phage clones. The sequence extends 18,846 base pairs from the Cap site to the polyadenylation site, and it reveals that the gene is composed of 15 exons, which are symmetrically placed within three domains...
