Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila Y chromosome is a 40-Mb segment of mostly repetitive DNA; it harbors a handful of protein-coding genes and a disproportionate amount of satellite repeats, transposable elements, and multicopy DNA arrays. Intron retention (IR) is a type of alternative splicing (AS) event by which one or more introns remain within the mature transcript. IR recently emerged as a deliberate cellular mechanism to...
