Conservation of intron and intein insertion sites: implications for life histories of parasitic genetic elements

KS Swithers, AG Senejani, GP Fournier… - BMC evolutionary …, 2009 - Springer
Background Inteins and introns are genetic elements that are removed from proteins and
RNA after translation or transcription, respectively. Previous studies have suggested that …

The horsetail Equisetum arvense mitochondria share two group I introns with the liverwort Marchantia, acquired a novel group II intron but lost intron-encoded ORFs

D Bégu, A Araya - Current genetics, 2009 - Springer
We studied the genomic structure and RNA editing of mitochondrial cox1, cox2, cob and
atp9 from the horsetail Equisetum arvense, a representative of an old fern lineage. Editing of …

[PDF][PDF] Bio-prospecting and characterization of optional elements present in the mtDNA rnl-region within species of ophiostomatoid fungi

J Sethuraman - 2009 - mspace.lib.umanitoba.ca
Fungal mitochondrial genomes are in a constant flux due to the presence of mobile
elements such as plasrnids, introns and homing endonuclease genes (lIEGs). In this study …
