Recent horizontal transfer, functional adaptation and dissemination of a bacterial group II intron.

BMC evolutionary biology - 20 Oct 2016

LaRoche-Johnston Félix, Monat Caroline, Cousineau Benoit

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Group II introns are catalytically active RNA and mobile retroelements present in certain eukaryotic organelles, bacteria and archaea. These ribozymes self-splice from the pre-mRNA of interrupted genes and reinsert within target DNA sequences by retrohoming and retrotransposition. Evolutionary hypotheses place these retromobile elements at the origin of over half the human genome. Nevertheless, the...
