Double-stranded DNA viruses may serve as vectors for horizontal transfer of intron-generating transposons

Abstract Specialized transposable elements capable of generating introns, termed introners, are one of the major drivers of intron gain in eukaryotes. Horizontal transfer of transposable elements (HTT) is thought to play an important role in shaping introner distributions. Viruses could function as...
