The sequence has been corrected, and is now available under the same accession
number and EMBL db-code, in the daily updates from EMBL. The correction is
marked 29-Aug-1992.
In general, it can be found at the national nodes in EMBnet, which have a daily
updated version of the sequence database(s).
At the CAOS/CAMM Center, you can search the databases using XQS, issuing the
commands:
FIND FATTY ACID SYNTHASE
SPECIES/CURRENT RATTUS
This gives you the following hits:
Rattus norvegicus (rat)
EMNEW:RNFASF R. norvegicus FAS gene for fatty acid synthase
EMNEW:RNTHYBS Rat fatty acid synthase gene, complete cds.
EM_RO:RNFAACSY Rat gene for fatty acid synthase (promoter region, exons 1-
2)
EM_RO:RNFAS Rat mRNA for fatty acid synthase (EC 2.3.1.85)
EM_RO:RNFASA R.norvegicus fatty acid synthase mRNA, complete cds
1 species found
Hope this helps,
Rgrds,
Jack
