Evolutionarily conserved sequence blocks in the introns ofD6Mm5e. Nine conserved elements ⩾80 bp in length with nucleotide sequence identity ⩾75% were identified. The sequences of the mouse elements (GenBank accession no. AF084363; top line) are aligned with the human sequence (GenBank accession no. AA003065). The first and last nucleotides of each element are numbered. Eight elements are located at corresponding positions in human and mouse. The coding sequence of mouse D6Mm5e begins in exon 1 at nucleotide 18441 and the polyadenylation signal begins at nucleotide 99125 in exon 9.
