Identification and Validation of Evolutionarily Conserved Unusually Short Pre-mRNA Introns in the Human Genome

According to the length distribution of human introns, there is a large population of short introns with a threshold of 65 nucleotides (nt) and a peak at 85 nt. Using human genome and transcriptome databases, we investigated the introns shorter than 66 nt, termed ultra-short introns, the identities...
