From: Marsupials have monoallelic MEST expression with a conserved antisense lncRNA but MEST is not imprinted

A Exon structures of eutherian MESTs and putative tammar MEST. In both human and mouse, the protein coding region was common between the two isoforms, MESTA and MESTB. The highly conserved protein coding regions are represented by green coloured boxes. White and grey coloured boxes represent protein-coding exon and UTRs, respectively. B Identification of the TSS of tammar MEST isoforms. 5′RACE and nested RACE primers are represented by the black arrows. Asterisks represent RACE products encoding partial tammar MEST sequences. Boxes represent exons identified by sequencing of the RACE products. Black boxes represent CpG islands determined by the Methprimer programme.
