Evolution and Diversity of Pre-mRNA Splicing in Highly Reduced Nucleomorph Genomes.

Abstract excerpt

Eukaryotic genes are interrupted by introns that are removed in a conserved process known as pre-mRNA splicing. Though well-studied in select model organisms, we are only beginning to understand the variation and diversity of this process across the tree of eukaryotes. We explored pre-mRNA splicing and other features of transcription in nucleomorphs, the highly reduced remnant nuclei of secondary endosymbionts....
