Abstract excerpt
The number and diversity of known group II introns in eubacteria are continually increasing with the addition of new data from sequencing projects, but the significance of these introns in the evolution of bacterial genomes is unknown. We analyzed the main features of the group II introns present in the genome of the soil microorganism Sinorhizobium meliloti (strain 1021), the nitrogen-fixing symbiont of alfalfa,...
