Abstract excerpt
The second intron (betaIVS-II) of the human beta-globin gene is essential for the accumulation of stable cytoplasmic mRNA and is implicated in promoting efficient 3'-end formation. This report presents quantitative comparisons between betaIVS-II mutants at physiological levels of expression from within a natural chromatin context in vivo which further defines it's function. In marked contrast to a beta-globin...
