Occurrence and characteristics of group 1 introns found at three different positions within the 28S ribosomal RNA gene of the dematiaceous <it>Phialophora verrucosa</it>: phylogenetic and secondary structural implications
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Group 1 introns (ribozymes) are among the most ancient and have the broadest phylogenetic distribution among the known self-splicing ribozymes. Fungi are known to be rich in rDNA group 1 introns. In the present study, five sequences...
