Genes are divided into three categories: Genes lacking introns (non–int genes), genes containing one intron (uni–int genes), and multi-intronic genes containing two or more introns (multi–int genes). All measures of length are medians. Intron density is the mean number of introns per spliced gene. All first or terminal exons were defined as external; all remaining introns were defined as internal.
