Abstract excerpt
The group II intron bl1 in the gene for apocytochrome b in yeast mitochondrial DNA (COB) is self-splicing in vitro. It could recently be shown that self-splicing of this intron is fully reversible in vitro. In addition, intron integration is not restricted to parental exons, since the intron can also integrate into a foreign RNA. The position of insertion seems to be immediately 3' to a cryptic intron binding...
