Characteristics of introns detected in this study. (a and b) Size comparison between known and novel introns, and between constitutive and alternatively spliced (AS) introns. (c and d) AU-richness comparison between known and novel introns, and between constitutive and AS introns. (e and f) Comparison of dinucleotide proportions between known and novel introns, and between constitutive and AS introns. (g and h) Comparison of splice site scores between known and novel introns, and between constitutive and AS introns.
