title: Characterisation and expression of a maize U3 snRNA gene.
abstract: We have used a probe encoding a U3snRNA gene of Arabidopsis to isolate maize U3snRNA genomic sequences. Of two clones sequenced, one encodes a single U3 gene which has been shown to be expressed in transfected maize protoplasts. The second clone encodes a U3 related sequence which appears to be an RNA-mediated pseudogene.
