Intron gain by tandem genomic duplication: a novel case in a potato gene encoding RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
The origin and subsequent accumulation of spliceosomal introns are prominent events in the evolution of eukaryotic gene structure. However, the mechanisms underlying intron gain remain unclear because there are few proven cases of recently gained introns. In an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) ge...
