Exon-intron structure and sequence variation of the calreticulin gene among Rhipicephalus sanguineus group ticks [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Calreticulin proteins (CRTs) are important components of tick saliva, which is involved in the blood meal success, pathogen transmission and host allergic responses.

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2018 In Cryptococcus neoformans, nearly all genes are interrupted by small introns. In recent years, genome annotation and genetic analysis have illuminated the major roles these introns play in the biology of this pathogenic yeast. Introns are necessary for gene expression and alternative splicing can regulate gene expression in response to environmental ...

Intron Mobility: Invasive introns [PDF]
Current Biology, 1994 The evidence that introns in fungal and plant organellar DNAs are mobile genetic elements has strengthened significantly; like Shaw's cockney heroine, Eliza Doolittle, they cannot help but betray their origins.

The Globin Gene Family in Arthropods: Evolution and Functional Diversity
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Globins are small heme-proteins that reversibly bind oxygen. Their most prominent roles in vertebrates are the transport and storage of O2 for oxidative energy metabolism, but recent research has suggested alternative, non-respiratory globin functions ...

Molecular Cell, 2019 Parenteau et al. (2019) and Morgan et al. (2019) showed that a subset of introns can work as non-coding RNAs that trap the spliceosome and decrease global splicing upon nutrient depletion in yeast, providing a new example of the functionality of introns, molecules that were previously assumed to be useless.

An overview of RNA splicing and functioning of splicing factors in land plant chloroplasts
RNA Biology, 2022 RNA splicing refers to a process by which introns of a pre-mRNA are excised and the exons at both ends are joined together. Chloroplast introns are inherently self-splicing ribozymes, but over time, they have lost self-splicing ability due to the ...

The gene coding for small ribosomal subunit RNA in the basidiomycete Ustilago maydis contains a group I intron [PDF]
, 1992 The nucleotide sequence of the gene coding for small ribosomal subunit RNA in the basidiomycete Ustilago maydis was determined. It revealed the presence of a group I intron with a length of 411 nucleotides.

Taxonomy of introns and the evolution of minor introns [PDF]
Nucleic Acids ResearchAbstract Classification of introns, which is crucial to understanding their evolution and splicing, has historically been binary and has resulted in the naming of major and minor introns that are spliced by their namesake spliceosome. However, a broad range of intron consensus sequences exist, leading us to here reclassify introns as ...
