Abstract
We present analysis of intronic sequences in the human DMD and UTRN genes. In both genes accumulation of repeated elements could account for intron expansion. Out-of-frame rod-domain exons have stronger splice sites and are separated by significantly longer introns as compared to in-frame exons. These features are unique for the two homologs and not shared by other spectrin superfamily genes.Entities:
