The shape of the nucleic acid molecule translated:

The quality of the mRNA/+RNA sequence:
  3UTR_possibly_incomplete
The mRNA/+RNA description: 
Putative in vivo CMV promoter-derived transcript produced from bicistronic plasmid pbetaGAL/5'(-162)/CAT which
comprises beta galactosidase and chloramphenicol acetyl transferase as the first and the second cistron,
respectively and the part of human XIAP mRNA (from nt -162 to nt -1 of the original sequence) mRNA.
The sequence ends at its 3'-end right after the poly(A) signal from BGH mRNA and thus the 3'-UTR might be
slightly wrong.

Description of the plasmid (facultative for promoter-less plasmid records):
