Novel Introner-Like Elements in fungi Are Involved in Parallel Gains of Spliceosomal Introns.

Spliceosomal introns are key components of the eukaryotic gene structure. Although they contributed to the emergence of eukaryotes, their origin remains elusive. In fungi, they might originate from the multiplication of invasive introns named Introner-Like Elements (ILEs). However, so far ILEs have...
