Sequence conservation in B. emersonii introns. Consensus sequences for (A) 5' exon-intron junctions, (B) 3' intron-exon junctions and (C) putative branch point sequences were calculated based on 105 introns from ESTs obtained through sequencing of stress cDNA libraries using WebLogo server http://weblogo.berkeley.edu. The consensus sequences for (D) 5' exon-intron junctions, (E) 3' intron-exon junctions and (F) putative branch point from ESTs obtained through sequencing of non-stress cDNA libraries are also shown. In this case, the consensus sequences were calculated based on 35 introns. The intron sequences start at position four in (A) and (D), and end at position 5 in (B) and (E).
