Non-consensus splice sites found in Arabidopsis genes.
During the analysis of high quality transcript sequence alignments to the Arabidopsis genome, several high quality gapped alignments were found to lack the consensus GT or GC donor site and/or AG acceptor splice site at inferred intron boundaries. Often, cDNA alignment programs disagree at boundaries lacking the consensus splice sites; in cases where multiple alignment programs agreed at the exon boundary containing a non-consensus splice site, gene structure annotations were manually updated to include the variation. Examples of Arabidopsis genes currently annotated with non-consensus splice sites are listed below. The high quality alignments containing non-consensus splice sites can be examined here.
