The mRNA/+RNA description: 
Putative spliced bicistronic mRNA derived from pSL based plasmid with part of the 5' UTR (nt 1089 to nt 1152)
of human myelin transcription factor 2 (MYT2) mRNA cloned between chloramphenicol acetyltransferase and
firefly luciferase.
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. :-)
