Hexamer characteristics. Conservation and occurrence of hexamers in (a) first introns, (b) other introns, (c) Comparison of hexamers relative occurrence distributions of hexamers that occur more (blue, top x-axis)/ less (orange, bottom x-axis) often in first than in other introns. In (a) and (b), for definition of conservation, see Methods. Every dot represents a hexamer, the red line represents a computed running average, and the dashed black line corresponds to the respective estimated random conservation based on Eq. 2
