Abstract:
A histone H4 gene from Ascaris lumbricoides contains an intron of approx. 2040 bp. Transcripts of the gene are spliced and polyadenylated. This is the first intron-containing H4 gene described for a metazoan. Notably, H4 mRNA from another nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, is intron-less and lacks poly A (Roberts, S.B., Emmons, S.W. and Childs, G. (1989) J. Mol. Biol. 206, 567-577).
