Intron evolution: testing hypotheses of intron evolution using the phylogenomics of tetraspanins.

Although large scale informatics studies on introns can be useful in making broad inferences concerning patterns of intron gain and loss, more specific questions about intron evolution at a finer scale can be addressed using a gene family where structure and function are well known. Genome wide surv...
