Using, RT-PCR we connected CEMIP to additional multiple ESTs that mapped to the 15q24-25 genomic region, finding expression in colon cancers of a 4083 bp full-length coding transcript that covers 30 exons and encodes a protein of 1361 amino acids (Supplementary Figure S1A & S1C). The gene discussed is CEMIP; the disease is colonic neoplasm.
