Abstract excerpt

We have determined the complete sequence of the mitochondrial gene coding for cytochrome b in Saccharomyces douglasii. The gene is 6310 base-pairs long and is interrupted by four introns. The first one (1311 base-pairs) belongs to the group ID of secondary structure, contains a fragment open read...
