List of Bacterial Group II introns by Organism
Clicking on the intron name in the “Species” column brings up full information for individual introns, including intron sequence, GenBank annotation, flanking sequence, ORF sequence and intron RNA structure. Other links in the Table provide additional information. The table is adapted from Dai et al. (2002), which can be consulted for more detailed description of the table. Also, a description of the content of the table can be found here.
