Bacterial group II introns generate genetic diversity by circularization and trans-splicing from a population of intron-invaded mRNAs.
Group II introns are ancient retroelements that significantly shaped the origin and evolution of contemporary eukaryotic genomes. These self-splicing ribozymes share a common ancestor with the telomerase enzyme, the spliceosome machinery as well as the highly abundant spliceosomal introns and non-LT...
