Conservation categories are defined: Categories A-E: a nucleotide exists in > 95% of the sequences studied. "Category A": the existing nucleotide is 98%-100% conserved. "Category B": the existing nucleotide is 90%-98% conserved. "Category C": the existing nucleotide is 80%-90% conserved. "Category D": the existing nucleotide is < 80% conserved. "Category E": sum of Categories A-D. "Category N": nucleotide exists in < 95% of the sequences studied. Other abbreviations used: IP: intron position. nt: nucleotide.
