Large introns in the Drosophila Bru-3 gene promote both alternative splicing by exon skipping and exon turnover during evolution, suggesting that large introns could be a reservoir of genetic diversity.

The successful design of universal conditions for direct sequencing of any gene allows automation and optimization of the detection of mutations and simplifes the screening of multiple candidate genes to find the defect underlying an inherited disease or trait.

Turkic and Indo-Iranian populations show differences in paternal and maternally inherited genetic markers that suggest social boundaries to gene flow between ethnic groups have existed for a millennium, longer than expected from historical records.
