Isolation and characterization of the tandemly repeated U6 genes from the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus.
The tandemly repeated U6 genes were isolated from the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. Each 1.8 kb repeat unit contains a single U6 RNA sequence. There are no sequence similarities between the U6 promoter and other sea urchin snRNA genes, other than a long polypyrimidine tract 3' of the U6 sequence.
