Group II intron and gene targeting reactions in Drosophila melanogaster
Mobile group II introns are retroelements that insert site-specifically into double-stranded DNA sites by a process called retrohoming. Retrohoming activity rests in a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex that contains an intron-encoded protein (IEP) and the excised intron RNA. The intron RNA uses its ri...
