At the origin of spliceosomal introns: Is multiplication of introner-like elements the main mechanism of intron gain in fungi?

The recent discovery of introner-like elements (ILEs) in six fungal species shed new light on the origin of regular spliceosomal introns (RSIs) and the mechanism of intron gains. These novel spliceosomal introns are found in hundreds of copies, are longer than RSIs and harbor stable predicted second...
