Intron and gene size expansion during nervous system evolution

BACKGROUND: The evolutionary radiation of animals was accompanied by extensive expansion of gene and genome sizes, increased isoform diversity, and complexity of regulation. RESULTS: Here we show that the longest genes are enriched for expression in neuronal tissues of diverse vertebrates and of inv...
