摘要: ABSTRACT The intron of the yeast RP51A gene was cloned with precision using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification method, and then inserted into several different positions URA3 as well PGK–lacZ fusion without introduction additional exon sequences. Analysis transcripts these genes showed that an near transcription start site spliced out efficiently, whereas same sequences 200 bp or further downstream were not, resulting in a reduced level mRNA. These results explain why intron-containing usually have 5′ end.
