Some novel intron positions in conserved Drosophila genes are caused by intron sliding or tandem duplication

Some novel intron positions in conserved Drosophila genes are caused by intron sliding or tandem duplication

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Positions of spliceosomal introns are often conserved between remotely related genes. Introns that reside in non-conserved positions are either novel or remnants of frequent losses of introns in some evolutionary lineages. A recent g...
