Key Findings
- The study, conducted by Chengdu Medical College, focused on the nuclear introns in Euglena gracilis (E. gracilis), a single-celled organism
- Researchers identified over 28,000 introns in E. gracilis, including conventional GT-AG introns and non-conventional introns
- The study also discovered 11,921 trans-spliced outrons, highlighting the complexity of RNA splicing in E. gracilis
