+Animal, Fungi, and Plant Genome Sequences Harbor Different Non-Canonical Splice Sites.

+[[!pmid 32085510 desc="A bioinformatics screen confirms the increased use of GA/AG splicing in _Oikopleura dioica_ and the copepod _Eurytemora affinis_, out of 489 animal species. In both cases, an extended consensus was found: AG|GAA/AG (vertical bar is end of exon)."]]
(more than 10%) of the (...) introns displayed non-canonical (non GT-AG)
splice sites, whereas the usual proportion is around 1%-1.5% in other genomes”
([[Denoeud et al., 2010|biblio/21097902]]).
+ - The consensus sequence around GA/AG splice sites is AG|GAA/AG

- Operons are enriched for houskeeping genes and depleted for developmental genes
([[Denoeud et al., 2010|biblio/21097902]]).
- “LTR retrotransposons account for a significant part of the indel polymorphism
