Statistics are from a paired test in which we compare the proportion of sites with a SNP within an ESE with sites equidistant from an exon junction but (a) not in an ESE or (b) in a pseudoESE, using a Wilcoxson paired test. Percentage difference is defined as (Median for ESE -Median for non-ESE)/Median for non-ESE. All tests are significant after Bonferonni correction (for consistency the P values are shown in bold).
