The excess of 5′ introns in eukaryotic genomes

In this work, 21 completely sequenced eukaryotic genomes were analyzed using an intragene comparison approach. We found that all of these genomes show a significant 5′-biased distribution of introns of protein-coding genes. Our findings are different from previous studies based on the intergene meth...
