Distinct Patterns of Expression and Evolution of Intronless and Intron-Containing Mammalian Genes

Comparison of expression levels and breadth and evolutionary rates of intronless and intron-containing mammalian genes shows that intronless genes are expressed at lower levels, tend to be tissue specific, and evolve significantly faster than spliced genes. By contrast, monomorphic spliced genes tha...
