Lateral transfer of introns in the cryptophyte plastid genome.

Nucleic acids research - 1 May 2008

Khan Hameed, Archibald John M

Abstract excerpt

Cryptophytes are unicellular eukaryotic algae that acquired photosynthesis secondarily through the uptake and retention of a red-algal endosymbiont. The plastid genome of the cryptophyte Rhodomonas salina CCMP1319 was recently sequenced and found to contain a genetic element similar to a group II intron. Here, we explore the distribution, structure and function of group II introns in the plastid genomes of...
