Conservation of exons with or without EG and EE links. For every site of an exon, x is defined as the position relative to the nearest splice site. It is positive for distances from the 5' edge and negative for distances from the 3' edge. The upstream intronic region is from -100 to 0 bp and the downstream intronic region is from 0 to 100 bp. Exons were divided into three groups: exons with node degree = 0 (black lines); exons with node degree > 0 and the node degree is in the top 10% of all non-zero node degrees (green lines); exons with node degree > 0 and the node degree is not in the top 10% list (red lines). The y-axis is the average conservation score for the three exon groups. The error bar indicates the standard error of the mean for each position.
