The debate on the origin and evolution of the intron/exon structure of eukaryotic genes has witnessed profound changes in the last 10 years. Concepts from both the introns-early and introns-late theories have merged into a new synthetic theory of intron evolution. Here I review the debate and discuss the perspectives for the future.
在过去十年中,关于真核基因内含子/外显子结构的起源与进化的争论发生了深刻变化。内含子早期理论和内含子晚期理论中的概念已融合成一种新的内含子进化综合理论。在此,我回顾这场争论并探讨未来的前景。
