Abstract excerpt
Intron mobility at the RNA level by splicing reversal at allelic (homing) and non-allelic locations (transposition) has been reported in vitro. In the living cell, however, only intron homing by unidirectional gene conversion has been described. Supposing that intron insertions at non-allelic sites might occur in vivo, we speculated that group II splice-site-associated macro-deletions in fungal mitochondrial DNA...
