Evidence against the energetic cost hypothesis for the short introns in highly expressed genes

BACKGROUND: In animals, the moss Physcomitrella patens and the pollen of Arabidopsis thaliana, highly expressed genes have shorter introns than weakly expressed genes. A popular explanation for this is selection for transcription efficiency, which includes two sub-hypotheses: to minimize the energet...
