Splice junction sequences from a large number of nuclear and viral genes encoding protein
have been collected. The sequence AC AG/GT GA AGT was found to be a consensus of 139
exon-intron boundaries (or donor sequences) and (CT) n N TC AG/G was found to be a
consensus of 130 intron-exon boundaries (or acceptor sequences). The possible role of
splice junction sequences as signals for processing is discussed.
Abstract
Splice junction sequences from a large number of nuclear and viral genes encoding protein have been collected. The sequence AC AG/GT GA AGT was found to be a consensus of 139 exon-intron boundaries (or donor sequences) and ( CT ) n N TC AG/G was found to be a consensus of 130 intron-exon boundaries (or acceptor sequences). The possible role of splice junction sequences as signals for processing is discussed.
