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.

Intron Mobility: Invasive introns [PDF]
Current Biology, 1994 The evidence that introns in fungal and plant organellar DNAs are mobile genetic elements has strengthened significantly; like Shaw's cockney heroine, Eliza Doolittle, they cannot help but betray their origins.

Non-Coding RNA, 2019 The conservation of intronic sequences was studied in the mitochondrial solute carrier (SLC25A*) genes of Zebrafish, Chicken, Mouse and Human. These genes are homologous and the coding sequences have been well conserved throughout Vertebrates, but the ...

Molecular Cell, 2019 Parenteau et al. (2019) and Morgan et al. (2019) showed that a subset of introns can work as non-coding RNAs that trap the spliceosome and decrease global splicing upon nutrient depletion in yeast, providing a new example of the functionality of introns, molecules that were previously assumed to be useless.

The Cancer Spliceome: Reprograming of Alternative Splicing in Cancer
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2018 Alternative splicing allows for the expression of multiple RNA and protein isoforms from one gene, making it a major contributor to transcriptome and proteome diversification in eukaryotes.

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 ...

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 ...

Horizontal Transfer and Gene Loss Shaped the Evolution of Alpha-Amylases in Bilaterians
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 The subfamily GH13_1 of alpha-amylases is typical of Fungi, but it is also found in some unicellular eukaryotes (e.g., Amoebozoa, choanoflagellates) and non-bilaterian Metazoa.

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 ...

Taxonomy of introns and the evolution of minor introns [PDF]
Nucleic Acids ResearchAbstract Classification of introns, which is crucial to understanding their evolution and splicing, has historically been binary and has resulted in the naming of major and minor introns that are spliced by their namesake spliceosome. However, a broad range of intron consensus sequences exist, leading us to here reclassify introns as ...
