Very little intron loss/gain in Plasmodium: intron loss/gain mutation rates and intron number.

Genome research - 1 Jun 2006

Roy Scott William, Hartl Daniel L

Abstract excerpt

We compared intron positions in conserved regions of 3479 orthologous gene pairs from Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium yoelii, which likely diverged >or=100 million years ago (Mya). Only 27 out of 2212 positions were specific to one of the two species. Intron presence in related species shows that at least 19 and possibly 26 of the changes are due to intron loss, depending on phylogeny. The implied intron...
