IRESite record type:

The shape of the nucleic acid molecule translated:
  linear
The quality of the mRNA/+RNA sequence:
  3UTR_possibly_incomplete
The mRNA/+RNA description: 
Putative bicistronic mRNA containing renilla and firefly luciferase genes with putative c-IAP1 IRES in the
intercistronic region without the chimeric intron. The sequence ends at its 3'-end right after the poly(A)
signal from bovine growth hormone (BGH) mRNA and thus the 3'-UTR might be slightly wrong (it is unknown
what region of the BGH signal could was transcribed and where the poly(A) tail was added).
The mRNA/+RNA sequence represented in the +DNA notation:


Warning: mRNA sequence when devoid of trailing 'A's is still not a substring of the plasmid sequence. Is it because an intron is spliced out? Stay calm then. :-)
