Diversity, mobility, and structural and functional evolution of group II introns carrying an unusual 3' extension

BACKGROUND: Group II introns are widespread genetic elements endowed with a dual functionality. They are catalytic RNAs (ribozymes) that are able of self-splicing and they are also mobile retroelements that can invade genomic DNA. The group II intron RNA secondary structure is typically made up of s...
