dc.descriptionSplicing sites provide unique statistics in human genome due to their large number and reasonably complete annotation. Analyses of the cumulative SNPs distribution in splicing sites reveal a few interesting observations. While a degree of the nucleotide conservation reflects on the SNPs density monotonically, no detectable changes in the SNPs frequencies spectrum were found. Semi-conserved nucleotide sites harbor transition mutations predominantly. We propose that such transition preference is caused by co-evolution of a site with corresponding binding agents. Since transitions in humans and similarly in other organisms are almost twice as frequent as transversions, this adaptation significantly lowers the mutation load.
