Figure 5From: Structure and evolution of the mouse pregnancy-specific glycoprotein (Psg) gene locusVirtual Northern analysis of the mouse Psg genes. The nucleotide sequences of the Psg exons encoding the N1 or the A domains were used in NCBI-BLAST searches of the GenBank mouse EST database (March 16, 2004) for the presence of Psg transcripts (virtual Northern analysis). A hit was registered when a 100% match for a sequence > 150 bp was observed. Obvious mismatches such as unidentified nucleotides (N) or single nucleotide insertions or deletions (especially at the end of a sequence run) were ignored.Back to article page
