In order to further investigate the role of the c-myb intron in expression, we attempted to amplify the Myb-INT gene fragment. Myb-INT is a 4500 bp ......t anneal to sequences in exons on both sides of an intron (Panel 1). With these primers, any product amplified from genomic DNA will be much larger than a product amplified from intronless mRNA. Make primers that span exon/exon boundaries on the mRNA (Panel 2). Such primers sh......uantities of RNA--3.75 mg purified group I intron from bacteriophage Twort--for crystallography (Figure 1). The superior performance of this kit led to increased product concentrations, which reduced sample volumes and improved the efficiency of subsequent purification steps....Gene Variation Associated With Better Mobility For Older Individuals
