Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to determine the causes of the high heterogeneity, in the number and the length, of the thyrotropin (TSH) beta mRNA in the European eel. Northern blot analysis showed that removal of the poly(A) tail did not affect this heterogeneity. PCR amplification on reverse-transcribed pituitary RNAs (RT) showed the main source of heterogeneity to be a highly variable region in the 3' untranslated...
