Hypothesis
Exon definition as a potential negative force against intron losses in evolution Deng-Ke Niu Biology Direct 2008, 3:46 (13 November 2008) If the splicing of pre-mRNAs is initiated by exon definition, an exon larger than a particular size may cause splicing errors . Intron loss that results in oversized exons may thus be deleterious and selected against.
