 Comparison of initiation codon contexts in the ATRX gene

Initiation context biasRCC AUG GInitiation
The AUG codons with surrounding sequenced contexts in the first 40 codons from the ATRX gene are shown. The important −3 and +1 positions are in bold with an initiation consensus sequence illustrated at the middle top. In the far right column the ability of each codon to initiate translation is indicated by a “+” or “−”; ND, not determined.
