title: Cloning and characterization of two transcripts generated from the mel-13 gene positioned adjacent to the mammalian Polycomb group-related gene mel-18.
abstract: We previously isolated the mel-18 gene, a mammalian Polycomb group (PcG)-related gene with homology to bmi-1 oncogene. We show in this paper the existence of a new gene, mel-13, which overlapped with the mel-18 anti-oncogene. We discuss the relationships between mel-13 and the mel-18, bup, and Su(z)2 genes.
