No immediate clinical implications; leaves open whether yeast intron mechanisms extend to mammalian retrotransposons.
Demonstrates that yeast group II introns function as site-specific retroelements using novel mobility mechanisms dependent on reverse transcriptase and endonuclease activities.
Moran et al. (1995) studied this question.
