| Abstract: | The flanking sequences of three U2 genes (or pseudogenes) and one U1 gene of Drosophila melanogaster have been determined. Comparison of the sequences reveals a remarkable homology between position ?30 and ?65 upstream from the structural genes, starting with a TATA box-like sequence. The 3′ flanking regions are also conserved in all genes and contain a canonical A-A-T-A-A-A polyadenylation signal. |
