From: Frequent GU wobble pairings reduce translation efficiency in Plasmodium falciparum
Single-exon genes have higher GU wobble content. (a) GU wobble content is correlated to the number of exons, the correlation is demonstrated using all nuclear-encoded genes (Pearson r = −0.2, p < 0.0001). (b,c) Categorical comparison shows higher GU wobble content in single-exon genes compared to multi-exon genes (t-test: p < 0.0001, 95% CI for difference in means = −0.045 to −0.038). (d) Single-exon genes are associated with more asparagine repeats (N10) using chi-square test.
