The mRNA/+RNA description: 
Bicistronic mRNA containing DsRED2 and EGFP. The sequence ends at its 3'-end right after the poly(A) signal
from SV40 mRNA and thus the 3'-UTR might be slightly wrong.

Description of the plasmid (facultative for promoter-less plasmid records):
The mammalian bicistronic vector pRG is a derivative of the pDsRed2-C1 vector containing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene from the pEGFP-N1 vector (Clontech) inserted into the HincII site. A new stop codon was introduced at the end of the DsRed2 gene by ligation of the 5'-GATCCAGCAAGATATCCTAA-3'/5'- GATCTTAGGATATCTTGCTG-3' adaptor into the BglII site. IRESite notes about verification of plasmid sequence: The complete sequence of intercistronic region was determined by sequencing using DsRed1-C Sequencing Primer (Clontech; #6483-1; 5'-AGCTGGACATCACCTCCCACAACG-3'), nt 1205–1228.
The in vivo produced transcripts are heterogeneous (due to any of promoter?/splicing?/cleavage?/breakage?):
  not tested
The in vivo produced heterogeneous transcripts occur due to alternative splicing:
  not tested
