Mutational bias and the protein code shape the evolution of splicing enhancers

Splicing is regulated by cis-acting elements in pre-mRNAs such as exonic or intronic splicing enhancers and silencers. Here the authors show that exonic splicing enhancers are enriched in exons compared to introns due to mutational bias coupled with purifying selection on the protein code.
