High impact information on collagen

  • The major differences between the genes is that, preceding the initiator ATG, col-12 has a cis-spliced intron, while col-13 is transspliced [1].
  • We have determined the complete nucleotide sequences of two collagen genes, col-12 and col-13, that are separated by only 1800 bases and are transcribed in the same direction [1].
