  • Introns that display similarity were aligned. Bold type indicates identical nucleotides. Symbols displayed below the aligned sequences summarize the alignment: (*) a conserved nucleotide, (:) a nucleotide that is identical with one exception, (.) a position that has two identical nucleotides, and (-) a position with no identical nucleotides.
