Preferential conservation of uAUGs in mouse and rat orthologous 5′-UTRs

Trinucleotide Triplet present in mouse but not in rat (%) Triplet conserved in mouse and rat (%) Triplet present in rat but not in mouse (%)
AUG 9 81 10
AGU 17 65 18
GUA 20 57 23
GAU 15 69 16
UAG 18 62 20
UGA 13 72 15

Fishers's exact test: 1539 conserved uAUGs, 359 non-conserved uAUGs, 11 218 conserved AGU/GUA/GAU/UAG/UGAs, 5703 non-conserved AGU/GUA/GAU/UAG/UGAs and P = 2.9 × 10−42.
