After their discovery, inteins have been quickly identified in organisms from all three kingdoms of life - eucarya, bacteria and archaea, but their distribution is sporadic. Here we report the identification and bioinformatics characterization of intein in DNA polymerase A gene of bacteriophage APSE (Acyrthosiphon pisum Secondary Endosymbiont bacteriophage) infecting the Aphid ...[more]
