The mRNA/+RNA description: 
Putative in vivo spliced transcript derived from CMV IE promoter and terminated at the SV40 late poly(A)
signal containing Renilla and Firefly luciferases.
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. :-)

The name of the plasmid:
pR-F
The name of the promoter used to express this mRNA:
  CMV_IE
The in vivo produced transcripts are heterogeneous (due to any of promoter?/splicing?/cleavage?/breakage?):
  no (not convincing)
The in vivo produced heterogeneous transcripts occur due to alternative splicing:
  no (not convincing)

Remarks:
Integrity of the in vivo transcripts was studied by RT-PCR, derivative of this plasmid containing 5'-UTR of
Laminin B1 and qRT-PCR. Figure 4C shows and extra, faint band corresponding probably to monocistronic derivate
of this vector containg only the FLuc ORF.
