Depositor Comments

See map & sequence file for insert-releasing enzymes (e.g. NheI / XmaI).
The Nrxn 1 beta variant encoded by this plasmid is AS4(-) / AS5(-):
- Exon 21 constituting alternatively spliced segment 4 (AS4) (=ENSMUSE00001309616) is absent.
- AS5 is absent, i.e. the short form of exon 23 (23.2) is present (=ENSMUSE00001290978; "GTGGGTTAG" missing compared to (longer) exon 23.1 (=ENSMUSE00000862714)).
