  • Identify and distinguish intervening sequences (group I introns, group II introns, twintrons, split intron, inteins), using key structural and mechanistic features.
  • Interpret plasmid maintenance and evolution in terms of plasmid genes (poison-antidote mechanism).
  • Interpret genetic mobility of introns and inteins, by comparing mechanisms of intron/intein homing and transposition.
  • Identify steps and mechanisms of evolutionary gene transfer from organelle genomes to nuclear genome.
  • Compare different types and mechanisms of RNA editing and translational recoding.
