Introns: The Functional Benefits of Introns in Genomes [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2015 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.

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.

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.

Biology Direct, 2006 Background Ever since the discovery of 'genes in pieces' and mRNA splicing in eukaryotes, origin and evolution of spliceosomal introns have been considered within the conceptual framework of the 'introns early' versus 'introns late' debate.

Evolutionary dynamics of U12-type spliceosomal introns [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background Many multicellular eukaryotes have two types of spliceosomes for the removal of introns from messenger RNA precursors. The major (U2) spliceosome processes the vast majority of introns, referred to as U2-type introns, while the minor (U12 ...

Identification of human short introns. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Canonical pre-mRNA splicing requires snRNPs and associated splicing factors to excise conserved intronic sequences, with a minimum intron length required for efficient splicing.

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 ...

Organellar Introns in Fungi, Algae, and Plants
Cells, 2021 Introns are ubiquitous in eukaryotic genomes and have long been considered as ‘junk RNA’ but the huge energy expenditure in their transcription, removal, and degradation indicate that they may have functional significance and can offer evolutionary ...

Distribution of introns in fungal histone genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Saccharomycotina and Taphrinomycotina lack intron in their histone genes, except for an intron in one of histone H4 genes of Yarrowia lipolytica. On the other hand, Basidiomycota and Perizomycotina have introns in their histone genes.
