Abstract excerpt

Like most mitochondrial group I introns with a free-standing open reading frame (ORF) located downstream of their catalytic core, the Sd.cob, 1 intron in the gene coding for the cytochrome b of Saccharomyces douglasii mitochondria possesses a putative proximal 3' splice site. However, incubation...
