Abstract excerpt
About 2/3 of introns are inserted between G and G/A, which has previously been explained by codon usage frequencies existing during the period of intron insertions. However, less is known about the evolution of exonic splicing sites. Exonic nucleotides that frame introns are involved in both protein coding and splicing. While a compromise between protein coding and splicing constraints is achieved differently in...
