title: Structure of the Echinococcus multilocularis U1 snRNA gene repeat.
abstract: The gene encoding U1 snRNA in Echinococcus multilocularis has been cloned and sequenced. This gene is contained within a 1300-bp sequence which is tandemly repeated in the E. multilocularis genome. E. multilocularis U1 snRNA is 50-70% homologous to U1 snRNAs of other species. E. multilocularis U1 snRNA could assume a predicted secondary structure similar to that proposed for other U1 snRNAs, and appears shorter (157 bases) than the U1 snRNAs of higher eukaryotes (163-166 bases).
