Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide sequence and intron-exon structure of the Drosophila melanogaster vermilion (v) gene have been determined. In addition, the sites of several mutations and the effects of these mutations on transcription have been examined. The major v mRNA is generated upon splicing six exons of lengths (5' to 3') 83, 161, 134, 607, 94, and 227 nucleotides (nt). A minor species of v mRNA is initiated at an upstream...
