Abstract excerpt

The recent determination of the genomic sequence of human caldesmon indicates that eight caldesmon mRNA species could be generated by selection of exon 1 or 1', exon 3a or 3ab and/or exon 4. We used reverse transcriptase PCR to determine which transcripts were produced in human, rabbit and sheep...
