Using Profiles Based on Nucleotide Hydrophobicity to Define Essential Regions for Splicing

<p>The splice-site sequences of U2-type introns are highly degenerate, so many different sequences can function as U2-type splice sites. Using our new profiles based on hydrophobicity properties we pointed out specific properties for regions surrounding splice sites. We built a set <i>T&...
