Signal sequences in intron equivalents
The 5' and 3' ends of each intron are marked with GU and AG dinucleotide sequences; a short tract of poly-pyrimidines (C or T) also occurs near the 3' end ahead of the AG singal.
[Note: exons and introns occur in the DNA sequence as expressed and intervening sequences: hnRNA products transcribed off the DNA template strand include exon and intron equivlaents. ]
