Transposition of group II intron al1 in yeast and invasion of mitochondrial genes at new locations

Group II intron aI1 transposition to non-allelic, splicing-compatible locations within the cox1 gene of yeast mtDNA is discussed. The involvement of an RNA intermediate in group II intron transposition is suggested.
