Heat stress? More like hot new #PlantScience !
💥🌡️🌱
Spend the weekend with #JIPB and find out how #spliceophilin CYP18‐2 is involved in the splicing of retained #introns under heat stress in #Arabidopsis.

Pictures Considered #58: Visualizing Introns
by Christoph
By reading sequences we easily detect stretches that code for proteins. We detect promoters, transcription factor binding motifs, start/stop signals for transcription, signals where introns are removed by splicing from primary transcripts (pre‑mRNA) to yield mature messenger RNA (mRNA), and much more. It wasn't always so easy.

"Transposable elements drive intron gain in diverse eukaryotes" #PNAS #introns #transposons
"...Introners evolved convergently from many distinct genetic elements, most are consistent with DNA-based transposable elements, and they are disproportionately common in the genomes of aquatic organisms. We propose that horizontal transfer of transposons in aquatic taxa contributes to the biased and highly punctate evolution of intron gains across eukaryotes."
