OsEBP-89 is a transcription factor gene of rice. It contains two introns. Using RT-PCR and Southern hybridization to study OsEBP-89 tissue-specific expression, we found that its first intron (115 bp in length) of its ...
Introns and exons of 7 genes ( epsilon globin, gamma-1 globin, gamma-2 globin, delta globin, beta globin, Immunoglobulin and prepro-insulin) in primates have been separated out and used to infer phylogeny respectively...
Intron was found to play an important role in improving gene expression. To improve the human factor IX(hFIX) expression level in hemophilia B gene therapy study, the retroviral vector containing intron 1 of hFIX gene...
