INTRONS ARE JUMPING GENES from horizontal gene transfer? “The alternative hypothesis is that introns are a kind of transposable elements which can jump in and out of existing genes which did not necessarily have introns from the beginning. A possible scenario would then be that group II introns invaded nuclear genes after the symbiotic event that created mitochondria and chloroplasts.””
