The lengths of introns and exons in various parts of genes of vertebrates, insects, plants and fungi are tabulated. Differences between the various groups of organisms are apparent. The results are discussed and support the idea that, generally speaking, introns were present in primitive genomes, though in some cases they may have been inserted into pre-existing genes.
脊椎动物、昆虫、植物和真菌基因不同部分的内含子和外显子长度已被制成表格。不同生物群体之间的差异很明显。对结果进行了讨论,并支持了这样一种观点,即一般来说,内含子存在于原始基因组中,尽管在某些情况下它们可能已插入到先前存在的基因中。
