The present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences from Bacillus
thuringiensis and, in particular, to genomic DNA sequences. The invention
encompasses nucleic acid molecules present in non-coding regions as well
as nucleic acid molecules that encode proteins, fragments of proteins,
tRNA's, fragments of tRNA's, rRNA's and fragments of rRNA's. In addition,
proteins and fragments of proteins so encoded and antibodies capable of
binding the proteins are encompassed by the present invention. The
invention also relates to methods of using the disclosed nucleic acid
molecules, proteins, fragments of proteins, RNA's, and antibodies, for
example, for gene identification and analysis, and preparation of
constructs.
