Discovering Intron Gain Events in Humans through Large-Scale Evolutionary Comparisons
2024-05-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The rapid growth in the number of sequenced genomes makes it possible to search for the appearance of entirely new introns in the human lineage. In this study, we compared the genomic sequences for 19,120 human protein-coding genes to a collection of 3493 vertebrate genomes, mapping the patterns of intron alignments onto a phylogenetic tree. This mapping allowed us to trace many intron gain even...
