title: Transposition: mobile introns get into line.
abstract: Group II introns encode highly structured, frequently self-splicing RNAs; they are also mobile genetic elements. This mobility has been found to involve DNA-primed reverse transcription, with similarities to retrotransposition and telomere maintenance.
