Identification of potential ovomucoid mRNA precursors in chick oviduct nuclei.
Denaturing gel electrophoresis of chick oviduct nuclear RNA reveals multiple species of RNA that are 1.5-5 times larger than ovomucoid mRNA. By analogy with ovalbumin RNA processing, these data suggest that ovomucoid mRNA is derived from a primary transcript that contains intervening sequences.
