Abstract

Splice junction sequences from a large number of nuclear and viral genes encoding protein have been collected. The sequence ACAG/GTGAAGT was found to be a consensus of 139 exon-intron boundaries (or donor sequences) and (CT)nNTCAG/G was found to be a consensus of 130 intron-exon boundaries (or acceptor sequences). The possible role of splice junction sequences as signals for processing is discussed.
