Overview of intron insertion positions in Caenorhabditis, Brugia malayi and Pristionchus pacificus globins. Identical Caenorhabditis-Pristionchus intron positions are marked in red, identical Brugia-Pristionchus intron postions in blue and identical Brugia-Caenorhabditis intron postions in green. Phase 0 introns separate two consecutive codons (annotated by the number of the amino acid residue, a dot and number 0). Phase 1 and phase 2 introns are inserted following the first or second base of a codon, respectively (annotated by the number of the amino acid, a dot and number 1 or 2, respectively). Introns inserted in the N-terminal extensions are referred to as NA counting from amino acid 1, HC for those inserted in the C-terminal extension starting with the first amino acid after the H-helix.
