Introns: The Functional Benefits of Introns in Genomes [PDF]
The intron has been a big biological mystery since it was first discovered in several aspects. First, all of the completely sequenced eukaryotes harbor introns in the genomic structure, whereas no prokaryotes identified so far carry introns.

Group I introns in tRNA genes of Patescibacteria [PDF]
Introns 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 ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Dunaliella salina CS-265: insights into gene content and phylogenetic placement [PDF]
We report the complete mitochondrial genome of the halotolerant green alga Dunaliella salina CS-265, isolated from a hypersaline lake in central Australia.

The position of the longest intron is related to biological functions in some human genes
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 ...

The current article focuses on the morphological and molecular characterization of the often inconspicuous genus Amicula. This recently erected genus from brackish and marine sediments was monotypic but here we describe two new tropical species: Amicula ...

Polymorphisms of mbl gene introns and their association with mbl serum levels in hu sheep [PDF]
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
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 ...

Population Genomic Analysis Reveals a Highly Conserved Mitochondrial Genome in Fusarium asiaticum
Fusarium asiaticum is one of the pivotal members of the Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC) causing Fusarium head blight (FHB) on wheat, barley and rice in large parts of Asia.
