## Abstract Naturally occurring antisense RNA has been detected for a range of eukaryotic genes. Its abundance compared to levels of its complementary sense mRNA appears to be a factor indicating its possible regulatory function. In previous studies, we detected appreciable levels of antisense RNA
It is generally accepted that mechanical stress of cardiomyocytes increases RNA and protein synthesis of myosin heavy chain (MHC) quantitatively but it is still a matter of debate whether MHC gene expression is also changed qualitatively. We investigated expression of MHC genes of spontaneously cont
We isolated a neonatal skeletal myosin heavy chain (MHC) cDNA clone, CV11E1, from a cDNA library of embryonic chick ventricle. At early cardiogenesis, diffuse expression of neonatal skeletal MHC mRNA was first detected in the heart tube at stage 10. During subsequent embryonic stages, the expression
