Table 3. Sequence comparison of exon I of the APP gene from C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice.
BALB/c | A C C G G A G A C G G C G G C G G C G G C G G C G G C G G C G C G G |
C57BL/6 | C G C G G G G C C A C C G G A G A C G G C G G C G G C G G C G C G G |
The GCG repeated sequence (bold) begins 73 bp upstream of the initiator Met. There are 7 repeats in this region of the APP gene in BALB/c mice as compared to 4 in C57BL/6.
