Median sequence conservation (phastCons) score across protein coding (blue) and lncRNA (red) exons and introns in D. melanogaster (A) and in human (B). Non-overlapping windows each comprising 10% of the sequences were used. The shaded areas represent the 95% confidence intervals over the median. The grey lines represent the median scores computed using 1,000 resampling of intergenic sequences matching the lncRNA size distribution.
