Genome Evolution: Where Do New Introns Come From?

Genome Evolution: Where Do New Introns Come From?

A new study reports creation of spliceosomal introns in multiple related fungal species by proliferation of cryptic elements. Resonances to a case in unrelated algae suggest such elements hold general answers to long-standing mysteries of intron evolution.
