Abstract excerpt
In contrast to homologous genes in other fungal mitochondrial genomes, the gene encoding subunit 2 of cytochrome oxidase (cox2) in several Schizosaccharomyces pombe strains contains a large group II intron. Its 2436 nucleotides can be folded into a typical group II intron secondary structure, pos...
