Figure 4
Multiple nucleotide sequence alignment of mouse and rat Abpbg-like exons 3 and surrounding genomic DNA. Genomic DNA corresponding to exon 3 (98 positions) and 100 nucleotide positions of both flanking intronic and 3′-UTR sequence was aligned with HMMER, and manually adjusted. We found that 81.3%, 50.5%, and 92.6% of the sites in the intron, exon, and 3′-UTR, respectively, exhibited ≥70% consensus. In these calculations, positions with fewer than 50% gaps were considered. The 14 codons of exon 3 corresponding to predicted ω+ sites are shown by horizontal bars.
