Title: Footprints of primordial introns on the eukaryotic genome: still no clear traces
Abstract: Response from Yuri I. Wolf, Fyodor A. Kondrashov and Eugene V. Koonin Eukaryotic genes that are thought to date back to the last universal common ancestor (LUCA). Typically, these are genes that are conserved in Archaea and Bacteria and appear to fit the standard model of evolution, with distinct archaeo-eukaryotic and bacterial branches. Introns located between codons. Phases one and two begin after the first and second bases of codons, respectively. Introns thought to be inherited from LUCA. Occurring independently in different evolutionary lineages (e.g. polyphyletic gene loss). Exons flanked by introns in the same phase.
