Group I introns in tRNA genes of Patescibacteria [PDF]
mSystemsIntrons are generally considered rare in bacteria, yet they are frequently observed in Patescibacteria, which have highly reduced genomes. To systematically explore the diversity, roles, and evolution of introns in Patescibacteria, we first focused on ...

Phase distribution of spliceosomal introns: implications for intron origin [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006 Background The origin of spliceosomal introns is the central subject of the introns-early versus introns-late debate. The distribution of intron phases is non-uniform, with an excess of phase-0 introns.

Memorias 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.

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 ...

The role of mutation rate variation and genetic diversity in the architecture of human disease [PDF]
, 2013 Background We have investigated the role that the mutation rate and the structure of genetic variation at a locus play in determining whether a gene is involved in disease.
