Features of novel introns inserted in MC2R and MC5R genes from a group of ray-finned fishes.

*The intron insertion points are indicated by ↑ sign.@Bases deviating from the proto-splice site sequence (MAG↑R), where M = A/C and R = A/G [48], are marked in italics.#Numbering of human MC5 receptor is followed as standard MC receptor.%225c-FRU corresponding numbering according to MC2R from T. rubripes.€Repetitive elements were predicted using Repeat Masker package, version 3.2.6 and RepBase Censor (http://www.girinst.org/censor/index.php) at default settings.$Direction - d - direct or c – complementary.
