Extensive intron gain in the ancestor of placental mammals

Dušan Kordiš Biology Direct 2011, 6:59 (23 November 2011)

Phylogenomic analysis of domesticated genes provides evidence for numerous intron gains in the ancestor of placental mammals and demonstrates that adequate taxon sampling is crucial for reconstructing intron evolution.
