The shape of the nucleic acid molecule translated:
  linear
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 containing
renilla_luciferase - hairpin_from_multiple_cloning_site - firefly_luciferase and is terminated after the late
SV40 polyA signal.
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. :-)

  reverse_engineered_sequence_and_should_match_experiment_except_both_UTRs
The name of the plasmid:
pRSTF
The name of the promoter used to express this mRNA:
  SV40
The in vivo produced transcripts are heterogeneous (due to any of promoter?/splicing?/cleavage?/breakage?):
  no
The in vivo produced heterogeneous transcripts occur due to alternative splicing:

Remarks:
A hairpin stemp loop is in the intercistronic region as is actually based on sequences from multiple cloning
site from pGEM-4z vector. Transcript is terminated at the XbaI site after the second cistron. The plasmid is
know to generate alternatively spliced mRNA products in cases of: Kv1.4/KCNA4, CVB3 at least (Jimenez et al.
(2005) Fig. 2C).
