Cloning and characterization of the mouse Mcoln1 gene reveals an alternatively spliced transcript not seen in humans.

abstract：UNLABELLED:Little is known, either experimentally or computationally, about the genomic sequence features that regulate malaria genes. A sequence conservation analysis of the malaria species P. falciparum, P. berghei, P. yoelii, and P. chabaudi could significantly advance knowledge of malaria gene regulation. RESULTS:...
