Conservation of the human and dog alternative donor splice site in the exon 5 of the other eutherian mammals. The last 30 nucleotides (in uppercase) of exon 5 and the first 10 nucleotides (in lowercase) of intron 5 are given. The canonical GT dinucleotides in the common donor splice site of intron 5 are in blue while the canonical GT and non-canonical GC dinucleotides in the alternative donor splice site are in red.
