GT and AG, located at the 5' and 3' ends of introns, are important for correct splicing. It is anticipated that natural selection decreases frequency of AG and GT near the 5' and 3' ends of exons, preventing appearance of cryptic splicing sites. The data presented in this article support the expectation.
位于内含子5'端和3'端的GT和AG对正确剪接很重要。据推测,自然选择会降低外显子5'端和3'端附近AG和GT的频率,从而防止隐蔽剪接位点的出现。本文给出的数据支持这一推测。
