Intron exclusion and the mystery of intron loss [PDF]
Mechanisms for loss and gain of introns are elusive. Reported here is a new pattern of intron loss which features a random loss of a single intron in a multipleāintron gene with its neighboring introns remained, which process is defined as intron exclusion.

Intron-mediated enhancement is not limited to introns [PDF]
AbstractCertain introns strongly increase mRNA accumulation by a poorly understood mechanism known as Intron-Mediated Enhancement (IME). Introns that boost expression by IME have no effect when located upstream of or more than ~1 Kb downstream from the start of transcription.

While most data analysis of epigenetic modifications has focused on the transcriptional start site proximal region (TPR), the non-TPR has received less attention.

Group II Intron Protein Localization and Insertion Sites Are Affected by Polyphosphate [PDF]
Mobile group II introns consist of a catalytic intron RNA and an intron-encoded protein with reverse transcriptase activity, which act together in a ribonucleoprotein particle to promote DNA integration during intron mobility.

Intron or no intron: a matter for nuclear pore complexes [PDF]
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) have been shown to regulate distinct steps of the gene expression process, from transcription to mRNA export. In particular, mRNAs expressed from intron-containing genes are surveyed by a specific NPC-dependent quality control pathway ensuring that unspliced mRNAs are retained within the nucleus.

Introns as Gene Regulators: A Brick on the Accelerator
A picture is beginning to emerge from a variety of organisms that for a subset of genes, the most important sequences that regulate expression are situated not in the promoter but rather are located within introns in the first kilobase of transcribed ...

Reliable and robust molecular sexing of the hen harrier (Circus cyaneus) using PCR-RFLP of the CHD1 gene [PDF]
The hen harrier (Circus cyaneus) is a bird of prey that is persecuted in the United Kingdom, and there is a need for a DNA-based individual identification and sexing system for the use in forensic investigations.

Intron Evolution in Saccharomycetaceae [PDF]
Introns in protein-coding genes are very rare in hemiascomycetous yeast genomes. It has been suggested that these species have experienced extensive intron loss during their evolution from the postulated intron-rich fungal ancestor. However, no intron-devoidy east species have been identified and some of the introns remaining within the genomes of ...

Mitochondrial genomes and phylogenomic analysis of Ulva lactuca Linnaeus (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta)
Two mitogenomes of Ulva lactuca Linnaeus, one from Florida, USA and another nearly complete mtDNA from Chile, had previously been sequenced. Here, the complete mitogenome of U. lactuca from Shantou, China was sequenced and compared with them.

An orchestrated intron retention program in meiosis controls timely usage of transcripts during germ cell differentiation [PDF]
Global transcriptome reprogramming during sper-matogenesis ensures timely expression of factors in each phase of male germ cell differentiation. Sper-matocytes and spermatids require particularly exten-sive reprogramming of gene expression to switch from
