Putative evolutionary events that shaped the evolutionary dynamics of poly(A) signal recognition. Multiple evolutionary events have shaped poly(A) signal recognition throughout eukaryotes, including involvement of flanking nucleotides, loss of importance for auxiliary elements, and change in the sequence of the poly(A) signal itself. To identify more precise placement of the hexamer change, additional annotations from more organisms are required.
