The chick ovomucoid gene contains at least six intervening sequences

Nature volume 278, pages 323–327 (1979)Cite this article

Abstract

A 15-kilobase pair EcoRI chick DNA fragment, containing both the termination codon UGA and the 5′-portion of the structural ovomucoid gene, has been cloned in λ phage Charon 4A by in vitro packaging. Restriction mapping and electron microscopic analyses of this cloned DNA have revealed that the structural ovomucoid gene sequences are separated by at least six intervening sequences.
