Abstract excerpt
Extensive sequencing of genomic 4f-rnp and 15 cDNA clones isolated from libraries of 0-4-h embryos, pupae, and adult heads from Drosophila melanogaster has enabled identification of factors resulting in transcript sequence diversity. The 4f-rnp gene contains eight small introns. Among non-edited cDNAs, one transcript class potentially encodes a 943-amino-acid protein, within which several motifs are predicted,...
