Proportion of hexamers that are predicted exonic splicing enhancers (Fairbrother et al. 2002; Zhang and Chasin 2004; Goren et al. 2006) within (A) Macaca mulata, (B) Canis familiaris, (C) Mus musculus genomic sequences that align to predicted exonic splicing enhancers in human intergenic lncRNA exons.
