Résumé
In the course of our studies concerning the tissue-specific expression of the
c-myb proto-oncogene, we have established the nucleotide sequence of the chicken
c-myb 3′-proximal coding exons. In situ hybridization performed with different genomic DNA probes corresponding to nearly all the
c-myb gene allowed us to localize the corresponding locus on the large acrocentric chromosome 3 in chicken. Our sequencing data also indicate that the 3′-proximal noncoding sequences represented in
c-myb mRNA species are derived from non-contiguous exons.
