Natural circularly permuted group II introns in bacteria produce RNA circles
Summary: Group II self-splicing introns are large structured RNAs that remove themselves from transcripts while simultaneously sealing the resulting gaps. Some representatives can subsequently reverse splice into DNA, accounting for their pervasive distribution in bacteria. The catalytically active...
