An amazing sequence arrangement at the 5' ends of adenovirus 2 messenger RNA.

Cell, 12, 1-8, 1977.

Order of authorship in the original paper: Chow, Gelinas, Broker, Roberts. Discovery of introns, for which Roberts and Philip Sharp received the Nobel Prize in 1993. It has been frequently suggested that Chow deserved a share of that prize. The normally inappropriate word "amazing" in the title of this paper was allowed in this particular instance by the editors of the journal Cell because of the exceptional nature of the discovery.

See also: Gelinas and Roberts, "One predominant 5--undecanucleotide in adenovirus 2 late messenger RNAs," Cell, 11 (1977) 533-544.
