title: Structure of a murine alpha interferon pseudogene with a repetitive R-type sequence in the 3' flanking region.
abstract: A murine alpha interferon pseudogene was identified in a mouse genomic library. The nucleotide sequence revealed several in-phase termination codons within the gene and repetitive oligonucleotides in the flanking regions. The nucleotide sequences and the amino acids of the peptide signal sequences were compared with known human alpha interferon genes and the pseudogene.
