Long-standing #genomics mystery about the origins of #introns explained in new study
https://phys.org/news/2022-11-long-standing-genomic-mystery-introns.html#TransposableElements drive #intron gain in diverse eukaryotes https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2209766119
The researchers believe that #introners (specialized #transposons) are the only likely explanation for intron burst events, in which thousands of introns show up in a #genome seemingly all at once, and they find evidence of this in species across the eukaryotic tree of life.
