Figure 1

Compilation of the 14-base sequence context of the ATG initiation codon of B. mori genes. Sequences surrounding the ATG initiation codon were compiled from 50 genes in GenBank. For reference, the ATG initiation codon corresponds to +1 through +3. The frequency of each nucleotide at each position is presented as a percentage. Solo consensus (italicized letter) and co-consensus nucleotides (underlined letter) were determined by the 50/75 rule (Cavener 1987). The consensus and least-common nucleotides determined by a binominal test are indicated by red and blue boxes, respectively. The consensus and least-common nucleotides were determined using Cavener’s 50/75 rule and/or by a binominal test and are shown at the bottom. The accession numbers of genes used for the analysis are as follows: AY769299, BMU06073, D10953, D90454, DQ311154, DQ311189, DQ311242, DQ311250, DQ311264, DQ311306, DQ311321, DQ311322, DQ311328, DQ311332, DQ311333, DQ311340, DQ311341, DQ311350, DQ311356, DQ311358, DQ311360, DQ311363, DQ311365, DQ311378, DQ311384, DQ311386, DQ311388, DQ311397, DQ311402, DQ311407, DQ311412, DQ311418, DQ311430, DQ311436, DQ311438, DQ311439, DQ343760, DQ358079, DQ424947, M64336, NM_001044023, NM_001044041, NM_001113262, NM_001145941, S74376, S77508, U30289, U94993, X74320, and X95604.
