Genes are not passed on exclusively from parents to their offspring. Some are mobile and can also jump to other species, as researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen ...

Spliceosomal introns are a unique feature of eukaryotic genes. Previous studies have established that many introns were present in the protein-coding genes of the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA ...

The spatial partitioning of the transcriptome in the cell is an important form of gene-expression regulation. Here, we address how intron retention influences the spatio-temporal dynamics of ...
