Some novel intron positions in conserved Drosophila genes are caused by intron sliding or tandem duplication
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Positions of spliceosomal introns are often conserved between remotely related genes. Introns that reside in non-conserved positions are either novel or remnants of frequent losses of introns in some evolutionary lineages. A recent g...
