Resequenced introns, shown against the joint distribution for intron size and GC content. Introns with a detectible transposon are colored blue; introns with no detectible transposons, gray. The 93 introns that we resequenced are red. They are selected to sample the full range of GC contents, and their mean size is 94±14 bp.
