AI Article Synopsis
- Intron sequences in RNA are typically removed and quickly degraded after synthesis.
- New research suggests that introns play a crucial role in helping yeast cells survive during nutrient shortages.
- This discovery challenges the traditional view of introns as merely redundant elements in RNA.
