The fragments were cloned and DNA sequencing demonstrated that they actually corresponded to cDNA with proper intron splicing. |
The resulting totals for each intron were then randomly resampled with replacement and a value of m was calculated from each resultant data set. |
Dashed lines joining the two gene duplicates indicate the potential intron loss in the bottom copy relative to the top copy. |
There are also two dinucleotide microsatellites and one mononucleotide microsatellite, all in the first intron. |
The second insertion traps an exon of a different gene contained in an intron of the former gene. |
Each intron is removed in a separate series of reactions by a complicated piece of enzymatic machinery called a spliceosome. |
