Specifically, 19 and 22% of the human–mouse and mouse–rat alignments, respectively, contained conserved uAUGs, and there was a highly significant excess of conserved uAUGs compared with the five shuffled triplets ( Tables 3 and 4 ).

Evolutionary conservation suggests a regulatory function of AUG triplets in 5'-UTRs of eukaryotic genes.
