| The sequenced region corresponds to contiguous partial sequences of intron 4 and exon 5 of the bib gene. |
| There are also two dinucleotide microsatellites and one mononucleotide microsatellite, all in the first intron. |
| The fragments were cloned and DNA sequencing demonstrated that they actually corresponded to cDNA with proper intron splicing. |
| The intron size distributions were plotted as scattergrams with density ellipses for selected pairwise gene comparisons. |
| The dashed line and lowercase letters represent intron sequences and the solid line and uppercase letters represent exon sequences. |
| Analysis of the nucleotide sequence identifies an open reading frame of 1882 codons, interrupted by one putative intron. |
