Heredity, 2006 There has been a lively debate over the evolution of eukaryote introns: at what point in the tree of life did they appear and from where, and what has been their subsequent pattern of loss and gain?

U12-type Spliceosomal Introns of Insecta
International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2012 Most of eukaryotic genes are interrupted by introns that need to be removed from pre-mRNAs before they can perform their function. This is done by complex machinery called spliceosome.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
