Annotating long intergenic non-coding RNAs under artificial selection during chicken domestication

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
Background Numerous biological functions of long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) have been identified. However, the contribution of lincRNAs to the domestication process has remained elusive.

Sense-antisense gene overlap is probably a cause for retaining the few introns in Giardia genome and the implications

Biology Direct, 2018
Background It is widely accepted that the last eukaryotic common ancestor and early eukaryotes were intron-rich and intron loss dominated subsequent evolution, thus the presence of only very few introns in some modern eukaryotes must be the consequence ...
