About
The function and evolution of introns have been topics of great interest since introns were discovered in the 1970s. Introns that interrupt protein-coding regions have the most obvious potential to affect coding sequences; therefore, their evolution have been studied most intensively. Splicing of introns within untranslated regions does not contribute directly to the diversity of proteins, yet ~35% of human transcripts contain introns within the 5' untranslated region (UTR). The evolution and possible functions of 5'UTR introns (5UIs) remain largely unexplored. Here we undertook a genome-wide functional analysis of 5UIs. Our main results are as follows:
