Additional file 1:

Genomic structure and alternative splicing of ODC gene. Schematic diagram of mouse genomic structure and splicing difference between ODC and ODC-AS in the 5' region was shown. The specific forward primers used specifically for ODC and ODC-AS are indicated respectively, as well as the common reverse primer.

Additional file 2:

Expression of ODC and ODC-AS in murine tissues. PCR amplification of ODC and ODC-AS from cDNAs of murine multiple-tissue panel (Clontech) with primers as shown in Additional file 1, was visualized under UV after being separated on 1% agarose gel containing ethidium bromide. The expected size of the bands was shown on the left and the DNA 1 kb ladder was shown on the right.

Expression of ODC and ODC-AS in the mouse eye. PCR amplification of ODC and ODC-AS from cDNAs of 6 dissected tissues from mouse eye with primers as shown in Additional file 1, was visualized under UV after being separated on 1% agarose gel containing ethidium bromide. The expected size of the bands was shown on the left and the DNA 1 kb ladder was shown on the right.
