Endogenous mechanisms for the origins of spliceosomal intronsFrancesco Catania
Department of Biology, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA
J Hered 100:591-6. 2009..These two nonmutually exclusive hypotheses provide a powerful way to explain the establishment of spliceosomal introns in eukaryotes without invoking an exogenous source...
The evolution of transcription-initiation sitesMichael Lynch
Department of Biology, Indiana University, USA
Mol Biol Evol 22:1137-46. 2005..These results provide a further example of how an increase in the power of random genetic drift can passively promote the evolution of forms of gene architecture that ultimately facilitate the evolution of organismal complexity...
Position of the final intron in full-length transcripts: determined by NMD?Douglas G Scofield
Mol Biol Evol 24:896-9. 2007..This mechanism may also help to explain the roughly 3 times greater length of 3' UTRs in comparison to 5' UTRs...
