Abstract excerpt
Noncoding introns are a unifying feature of protein-coding genes in virtually all extant eukaryotes, with most lineages following the canonical intron structure. However, euglenozoans, unicellular flagellates that include free-living euglenids, human pathogenic kinetoplastids, and highly diverse and abundant marine diplonemids, are a notable exception. Euglenozoan genomes range from extremely intron-poor...
