Abstract
A genomic clone has been isolated which contains sequences highly homo logous to part of exon 14 and exons 15, 16 and 17 of the Artemia franc iscana sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase(SERCA)-encoding gene, but none of the introns. The homologous region extends to the 3' end of t he mRNA, although the poly(A) tail is not present. The structure of th is clone suggests that it represents a 5'-end-truncated retropseudogen e (r Psi).
