Abstract

Selected regions of cloned EcoRI fragments of the chicken ovalbumin gene have been sequenced. The positions where the sequences coding for ovalbumin mRNA (ov-mRNA) are interrupted in the genome have been determined, and a previously unreported interruption in the DNA sequences coding for the 5' nontranslated region of the messenger has been discovered. Because directly repeated sequences are found at exon-intron boundaries, the nucleotide sequence alone cannot define unique excision-ligation points for the processing of a possible ov-mRNA precursor. However, the sequences in these boundary regions share common features; this leads to the proposal that there are, in fact, unique excision-ligation points common to all boundaries.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
