Newly evolved introns in human retrogenes provide novel insights into their evolutionary roles
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Retrogenes generally do not contain introns. However, in some instances, retrogenes may recruit internal exonic sequences as introns, which is known as intronization. A retrogene that undergoes intronization is a good model with whic...
