Notes: The oligonucleotides were designed with Bioinformatics tool Laser Gene 9.1 module Primer Select and synthesized at Microsynth, Switzerland. As indicated the primer sets were used for sequencing and/or amplification of dmyc non-coding regions, all 5′ RACE experiments, and for sequencing of cloning vectors and injection plasmids.

Abbreviations: bp, base pairs; E, exon; F, forward; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; R, reverse; RACE, rapid amplification of cDNA ends; Exn, exon; Intr, intron; DPE, downstream promoter element; UPM-sh, Universal Primer Short.
