Is intron removal by recursive splicing necessitated by the evolution of genomic gigantism?
Alexander Nichols Adams, Rachel Lockridge Mueller
The paper uses RNA-seq data from West African lungfish to test if recursive splicing is necessary for managing long introns in gigantic genomes, finding no evidence for widespread reliance on recursive splicing.
