Group I introns in SSU rDNA
This SSU rDNA secondary structure, including the sequence of the lichen-forming ascomycete
Lecanora dispersa, shows the known places of group I intron occurence. The boxed numbers are a nomenclature we developed to name intron's positions relative to the secondary structure of
E. coli.
