From: Evaluation of the mechanisms of intron loss and gain in the social amoebae Dictyostelium
Two intron gains identified in Dictyostelium discoideum. a The second intron of gene DDB_G0275263 was newly gained. The source sequence is the 5′ end of the third intron of gene DDB_G0276095. b The fourth intron of gene DDB_G0273471 was newly gained. The source sequence is the 3′ end of the coding sequence and a 64 bp unannotated 3′ untranslated region of gene DDB_G0267666. Sequences upstream and downstream of the source sequences do not match the upstream and downstream exonic sequences of the novel introns, respectively. Therefore, these sequences are excluded from this figure.
