Splice Site Matrices

Splice site consensus sequences for U2 (major class) introns in pre-mRNA generally conform to the following consensus sequences:

3' splice sites: CAG|G

5' splice sites: MAG|GTRAGT where M is A or C and R is A or G

3' Splice Sites -- human -- high GC isochores. From Zhang 1998.
