Exons with evidence for non-linear splicing | Random exons with no evidence of non-linear splicing | P-value | |
---|---|---|---|
A | 20 628 (± 3053) | 3159 (± 523) | 1.5 × 10−7 |
B | 12 556 (± 2839) | 3159 (± 523) | 0.002 |
C | 10 067 (± 1973) | 3191 (± 644) | 0.001 |
D | 15 135 (± 2158) | 3191 (± 644) | 5.4 × 10−7 |
E | 320 (± 58) | 153 (± 16) | 0.007 |
F | 280 (± 49) | 153 (± 16) | 0.017 |
Numbers shown are the Mean length ± the standard error of the mean (n = 100). An independent samples t-test was used to calculate the P-values for the average sizes between these two samples with a 95% confidence interval. A: comparison of the 5′ intron of random exons, to the 5′ introns of the 3′ exon involved in a non-linear splicing event; B: comparison of the 5′ intron of random exons, to the 5′ introns of the 5′ exon involved in a non-linear splicing event; C: comparison of the 3′ intron of random exons, to the 3′ introns of the 3′ exon involved in a non-linear splicing event; D: comparison of the 3′ intron of random exons, to the 3′ introns of the 5′ exon involved in a non-linear splicing event; E: comparison of random exons, to the 5′ exon involved in a non-linear splicing event; F: comparison of random exons, to the 3′ exon involved in a non-linear splicing event.
