A diagram derived from counts of the bases in the translation initiation region from all human genes (mRNAs). Each letter is written in proportion to its biased use in a sequence logo. If a base were used in all ~25,000 genes it would score 2 and be written two units tall. The most significantly biased bases are -3 (A) and +4 (G). The Initiation codon AUG is not drawn to scale (it would score 2 bits) of information on this scale.
