Multiple recent horizontal transfers of the <it>cox1 </it>intron in Solanaceae and extended co-conversion of flanking exons

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The most frequent case of horizontal transfer in plants involves a group I intron in the mitochondrial gene <it>cox1</it>, which has been acquired via some 80 separate plant-to-plant transfer events among 833 diverse angi...
