Your Friend Who Is Studying the Sequence Conservation Around the Branch-Point

question 50

Short Answer

Your friend who is studying the sequence conservation around the branch-point site on a subset of pre-mRNAs in Macaca mulatto (rhesus macaque) has sent you the following sequence logo of the region of interest, but has forgotten to indicate the position of the branch-point nucleotide itself within this region. Where do you think it is? Write down the position number (1 to 8) as your answer.
