Small t intron

<h2 id="function">Function</h2>
<p>The function of this intron in the vectors is unknown, but it is theorized that it might be involved in <a href="/facts/RNA_splicing/a2QEvCRI">splicing</a> or <a href="/facts/Translation_(biology)/JcPC1rth">translation</a> efficiency.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a>
</p><p>Vectors such as pME18s contain it.
