... The effect of the unwinding of the DNA template by RNA polymerase is to decrease T by 1 for every 10 bp unwound. Thus ΔT = -1, and since ΔL = 0, then ΔW = +1 for every 10 bp unwound. This effect of the increase in W will be exerted in the DNA ahead of the polymerase. The effect of rewinding the DNA ...

splice sites at the termini generating a novel intron from a dSpm
... In order to analyze the structure of dSpm insertions, these two a2-ml alleles were cloned using the dSpm elements and rcy, another transposable element insertion, as gene tags. The A2 transcription unit was characterized. Comparison with the genomic clones shows that A2 is a gene devoid of introns. ...
