Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The origin and importance of exon-intron architecture comprises one of the remaining mysteries of gene evolution. Several studies have investigated the variations of intron length, GC content, ordinal position in a gene and divergence. However, there is little study about the structural variation of exons and introns. RESULTS: We investigated the length, GC content, ordinal position and divergence in...
