Inteins, introns, and homing endonucleases: recent revelations about the life cycle of parasitic genetic elements

Self splicing introns and inteins that rely on a homing endonuclease for propagation are parasitic genetic elements. Their life-cycle and evolutionary fate has been described through the homing cycle. According to this model the homing endonuclease is selected for function only during the spreading...
