The emergence and evolution of intron-poor and intronless genes in intron-rich plant gene families.
The Plant Journal, 2020 Eukaryotic genes can be classified into intronless (no introns), intron-poor (three or fewer introns per gene), or intron-rich. Early eukaryotic genes were mostly intron-rich, and their alternative splicing into multiple transcripts, giving rise to ...

Intronization, de-intronization and intron sliding are rare in Cryptococcus [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Eukaryotic pre-mRNA gene transcripts are processed by the spliceosome to remove portions of the transcript, called spliceosomal introns. The spliceosome recognizes intron boundaries by the presence of sequence signals (motifs) contained in the actual transcript, thus sequence changes in the genome that affect existing splicing signals or create new ...

Using intron position conservation for homology-based gene prediction
Nucleic Acids Research, 2016 Annotation of protein-coding genes is very important in bioinformatics and biology and has a decisive influence on many downstream analyses. Homology-based gene prediction programs allow for transferring knowledge about protein-coding genes from an ...

Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2018 DNA methylation is one of the main epigenetic mechanisms for the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes. In the standard model, methylation in gene promoters has received the most attention since it is generally associated with transcriptional ...

O-GlcNAc regulates gene expression by controlling detained intron splicing
bioRxiv, 2020 Intron detention in precursor RNAs serves to regulate expression of a substantial fraction of genes in eukaryotic genomes. How detained intron (DI) splicing is controlled is poorly understood.

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.

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.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Fungi comprise a great diversity of species with distinct ecological functions and lifestyles. Similar to other eukaryotes, fungi rely on interactions with prokaryotes and one of the most important symbiotic events was the acquisition of mitochondria ...

The phylogeography of red and yellow coppersmith barbets (Aves: Megalaima haemacephala)
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 Understanding the evolution of color in birds is important because it is used for both inter- and intra-specific communication and is often linked to other important traits including life history, behavior, immunology and mate choice.
