+Evolution of the U2 Spliceosome for Processing Numerous and Highly Diverse Non-canonical Introns in the Chordate Fritillaria borealis.
+
+[[!pmid 31543449 desc="In Fritillaria borealis, most ancestral canonical
+introns were lost. New introns with non-canonical splice sites were created by
+the insertion of MITEs (miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements) after
+TA sites. Splicing of non-canonical introns can be inhibited with Pladienolide
+B. Non-canonical introns of F. bor and O. dioica genes can not be spliced in
+HEK293T cells, but canonical introns can. In ~90% of lariats from F. bor or O.
+dio, the branchpoint is an A. Distance to 3′ splice site is similar in both
+species. A single U2 spliceosome was found in F. bor."]]
- “Maternal promoters in O. dioica were located on the X-chromosome more
frequently than expected” ([[Danks et al, 2018|biblio/29482522]]).
- Introns are very small (peak at 47 base pairs, 2.4% > 1 kb, [[Denoeud et
- al., 2010|biblio/21097902]]) and subjected to a large turnover: many ancestral
- introns are lost, and many new species-specific introns found ([[Edvarsen et
- al., 2004|biblio/15638456]]). Introns are gained by insertion of transposon-like elements and
- by reverse splicing, ([[Denoeud et al., 2010|biblio/21097902]]). Larger introns tend
- to be older, and among the large introns, the older contain repeat elements less frequently
- than the newer ([[Denoeud et al., 2010|biblio/21097902]]).

+ but not the non-canonical ones ([[Henriet and coll., 2019|biblio/31543449]]).
- 12 developmental stages were studied with tiling arrays by [[Danks et al., 2013|biblio/23185044]].
- On the histone mRNAs, no purine-rich histone downstream element (HDE) was found
by [[Chioda, Eskeland and Thompson in 2002|biblio/12446815]].
