Abstract excerpt
We identified 411 processed sequences in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome based on the fact that they have lost their intron(s) and have a length that is at least 95% of the length of the gene that gave rise to them. These sequences were generated by 230 different genes and clearly originated from retrotranspositons events because most of them (91%) have a poly(A)-tail. They are composed of 376 sequences with...
