Accumulation of GC donor splice signals in mammals

<p>Abstract</p> <p/> <p>The GT dinucleotide in the first two intron positions is the most conserved element of the U2 donor splice signals. However, in a small fraction of donor sites, GT is replaced by GC. A substantial enrichment of GC in donor sites of alternatively splice...
