Figure 6.

Comparison of intron positions among human, fruitfly (D. melanogaster), nematode worm (C. elegans), and yeast (S. cerevisiae) RP genes. Intron positions for 60 genes were compared. 'Unique' represents the ratio of introns that are specific to that particular species. The number of analyzed introns was 249 in Human, 97 in Fly, 123 in Worm, and 67 in Yeast.
