Other cases of non-consensus splice sites appear rare; however, more are likely to be documented in the future.
The sequence of the intron is well conserved only around the splice sites.
The sequences around each splice site are shown in Table 2.
It will allow curators to fine-tune splice sites to generate the most biologically likely peptide.
The match of a splice site to this consensus reflects the strength of the site.
First, there can be a physical blockage of a splice site.
These alternative splice sites don't affect the reading frame of the sequence and thus may not alter the function of the protein.
SR proteins are important for selecting splice sites for alternative splicing.
The intronic sequence includes a 5' splice site, and the predicted double-stranded region is 30 base pairs in length.
A second possibility was suggested by considering the location of the splice site.
