Figure 2From: The multiplicity of alternative splicing decisions in Caenorhabditis elegansis linked to specific intronic regulatory motifs and minisatellitesComparison of gene and intron lengths between SASS and MASS genes. A) Gene lengths in the full sample of SASS and MASS genes. A significant difference was found by Mann Whitney U test (*p < .001). B) The length of introns flanking alternate exons in the full sample of SASS and MASS genes. A significant difference was found by Mann Whitney U test (*p < .001). C) Gene lengths in the stratified subsample of SASS and MASS genes. No significant difference was found by Mann Whitney U test (ns, p = .86). D) The length of introns flanking alternate exons in the stratified subsample of SASS and MASS genes. No significant difference was found by Mann Whitney U test (ns, p = .19).Back to article page
