IRESite record type:

The shape of the nucleic acid molecule translated:

The quality of the mRNA/+RNA sequence:
  hopefully_full-length_mRNA
The mRNA/+RNA description: 
Putative in vivo transcript from SV40 promoter with the chimeric intron spliced out and containing
renilla_luciferase - hairpin_from_multiple_cloning_site - LEF1 IRES 1.2kb - firefly_luciferase and is
terminated after the late SV40 polyA signal. An FLuc-fusion protein should be translated from the second
cistron (4 aminoacids added extra).
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. :-)

Remarks:
As positive controls were used Kv1.4 and CVB3 IRESs (Fig. 2B). They are not considered as correct positive
controls by IRESite due to the fact the measured values were biased by aberrant splicing of Kv1.4 and CVB3
containing plasmids.
