Exon Flank Divergence Between Human and Chimpanzee

Evolutionary Divergence of Exon Flanks: A Dissection of Mutability and Selection, Genetics, 2006, To Appear

A short paper inspired by the discussion with Fyodor Kondrashov. The take-home message is that the reduced nucleotide substitution rate is a universal trend in intronic regions flanking alternative exons, independent of local CpG context. UCSC human-chimpanzee genome alignments were analyzed in this paper.
