Figure 7. Comparative genomics of the AS landscape in 12 metazoa.For each of the 12 compared species a pie diagram shows the distribution of events across 5 structural different classes (color scheme as in Figure 3). Vertebrates—amongst them especially mammals—exhibit more exon skipping and complex events and less retained introns than invertebrates. Estimations of evolutionary distances are given according to [67]. Image published in: Sammeth M et al. (2008) Sammeth et al.
