Using information content and base frequencies to distinguish mutations from genetic polymorphisms in splice junction recognition sites.

Abstract excerpt

Predicting the effects of nucleotide substitutions in human splice sites has been based on analysis of consensus sequences. We used a graphic representation of sequence conservation and base frequency, the sequence logo, to demonstrate that a change in a splice acceptor of hMSH2 (a gene associated with familial nonpolyposis colon cancer) probably does not reduce splicing efficiency. This confirms a population...
