Mammalian introns: when the junk generates molecular diversity.

International journal of molecular sciences - 20 Feb 2015

Hubé Florent, Francastel Claire

Abstract excerpt

Introns represent almost half of the human genome, yet their vast majority is eliminated from eukaryotic transcripts through RNA splicing. Nevertheless, they feature key elements and functions that deserve further interest. At the level of DNA, introns are genomic segments that can shelter independent transcription units for coding and non-coding RNAs which transcription may interfere with that of the host gene,...
