Distribution of lost introns compared with conserved introns. The X-axis represents the relative position of the introns, and the Y-axis represents their percentage of introns. The relative position of each intron, either conserved or lost, within its host gene was calculated as the sequence length of the mRNA upstream of the intron divided by the full length of the mRNA. As the data are not normally distributed, we used nonparametric analyses in our comparisons of the data
