The position of the longest intron is related to biological functions in some human genes
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 The evidence that introns can influence different levels of transfer of genetic information between DNA and the final product is increasing. Longer first introns were found to be a general property of eukaryotic gene structure and shown to contain a ...

Polymorphisms of mbl gene introns and their association with mbl serum levels in hu sheep [PDF]
Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2019 PCR single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and DNA sequencing techniques were used to analyze the genetic polymorphism of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) gene 3 introns in Hu sheep.

Animal, Fungi, and Plant Genome Sequences Harbor Different Non-Canonical Splice Sites
Cells, 2020 Most protein-encoding genes in eukaryotes contain introns, which are interwoven with exons. Introns need to be removed from initial transcripts in order to generate the final messenger RNA (mRNA), which can be translated into an amino acid sequence ...

Splice and Dice: Intronic microRNAs, Splicing and Cancer
Biomedicines, 2021 Introns span only a quarter of the human genome, yet they host around 60% of all known microRNAs. Emerging evidence indicates the adaptive advantage of microRNAs residing within introns is attributed to their complex co-regulation with transcription and ...

Can Introns Stabilize Gene Duplication?
Biology, 2022 Gene duplication is considered one of the most important events that determine the evolution of genomes. However, the neo-duplication condition of a given gene is particularly unstable due to recombination events. Several mechanisms have been proposed to
