- Title
The Peculiarities of Large Intron Splicing in Animals.
- Abstract
The article offers information on the study that discuses on the peculiarities of large intron splicing in animals. It stated that 92 percents genes in mammals contain introns which has incredible size of over 50,000 nucleotides. A computational analysis used in the study which shows that vertebrates lack the proper enrichment of RP-sites in their large introns. Further in study, 15,000 non-redundant, large introns from six mammals, 1,600 from chicken and zebrafish, and 560 non-redundant large introns from five invertebrates were analyzed. Results showed that predicted stems are indeed abundant and stable in the large introns of mammals.
