The origin of introns and their role in eukaryogenesis: a compromise solution to the introns-early versus introns-late debate?
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Ever since the discovery of 'genes in pieces' and mRNA splicing in eukaryotes, origin and evolution of spliceosomal introns have been considered within the conceptual framework of the 'introns early' versus '...
