Abstract
Chimeric genes were made by fusing mouse histone genes with a human alpha-globin gene. The genes were introduced into mouse L cells and the stability of the chimeric mRNAs was measured when DNA synthesis was inhibited. An mRNA containing all the globin coding sequences and the last 30 nucleotides of the histone mRNA was degraded at the same rate as histone mRNA.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
