U12 intron positions are more strongly conserved between animals and plants than U2 intron positions

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We report that the positions of minor, U12 introns are conserved in orthologous genes from human and <it>Arabidopsis </it>to an even greater extent than the positions of the major, U2 introns. The U12 introns, especially, conserved ones are concentrat...
