Using long-range PCR, we have isolated the genomic interval between snRPN and PAR-5, identified a novel transcript in this region, and termed it PAR-SN. Northern analysis demonstrates that PAR-SN is expressed in brain, skeletal muscle, and heart. Like snRPN and PAR-5, PAR-SN is expressed exclusively from the paternal homolog in cultured lymphoblasts. Sequence analysis of the transcript revealed no significant open reading frame but did include a polymorphic dinucleotide repeat (CA)17.}, URL = {http://genome.cshlp.org/content/6/8/742.abstract}, eprint = {http://genome.cshlp.org/content/6/8/742.full.pdf+html}, journal = {Genome Research} }
