Frontiers in Genetics, 2012 The intron–exon architecture of many eukaryotic genes raises the intriguing question of whether this unique organization serves any function, or is it simply a result of the spread of functionless introns in eukaryotic genomes.

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.

Intron “sliding” and the diversity of intron positions [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997 Alignments of homologous genes typically reveal a great diversity of intron locations, far more than could fit comfortably in a single gene. Thus, a minority of these intron positions could be inherited from a single ancestral gene, but the larger share must be attributed to subsequent events of intron gain or intron “sliding” (movement from one ...

Comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genomes of four cordyceps fungi
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Cordyceps is a large group of entomogenous, medicinally important fungi. In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the entire mitochondrial genome of Ophiocordyceps xuefengensis, in addition to comparing it against other three complete ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Compared to nuclear genomes, mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) are small and usually code for only a few dozen genes. Still, identifying genes and their structure can be challenging and time-consuming.

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 ...

PLoS Genetics, 2020 Efficient nuclear transgene expression in the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is generally hindered by low transcription rates. Introns can increase transcript abundance by a process called Intron-Mediated Enhancement (IME) in this alga and has

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 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 ...

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2020 Fungal mitochondrial (mt) genomes exhibit great diversity in size which is partially attributed to their variable intergenic regions and most importantly to the inclusion of introns within their genes.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Fungal complexes are often composed of morphologically nearly indistinguishable species with high genetic similarity. However, despite their close relationship, they can exhibit distinct phenotypic differences in pathogenicity and production of ...
