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 CMV promoter-derived transcript produced from bicistronic plasmid pBiCELG1 which comprises
beta galactosidase and chloramphenicol acetyl transferase as the first and the second cistron, respectively
and the part (from nt -803 to nt -461 of the original sequence)of 5' UTR from human ELG1 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.
