Sequence logo for acceptor splice sites: splice sites have quite strong consensus sequences, i.e., almost every position in a small window around the splice site is representative of the most frequently occurring nucleotide when many existing sequences are compared in an alignment.

In the running example, we use the region up to 40 nt upstream and downstream of the consensus site AG.
