  • ↵GC content between −250 and +250 bp.

  • ↵Relative position of the initiator ATG with respect to the first intron boundaries; e.g., Ae’0'Åf means localization of the ATG at the 3′ end of exon 1; ‘3’ at the 5′ end of exon 2.

  • ↵Partial sequence, not included in the calculation of the average values.

  • ↵Sequence determined in this study.
