"In some ascomycete fungi, ribosomal protein S3 (Rps3) is encoded within a group I intron (mL2449) that is inserted in the U11 region of the mitochondrial large subunit rDNA (rnl) gene. Previous characterization of the mL2449 intron in strains of Ophiostoma novo-ulmi subspecies americana (Dutch Elm Disease) revealed a complex genes-within-genes arrangement whereby a LAGLIDADG homing endonuclease gene (HEG) is inserted into the RPS3 gene near the 3' terminus, creating a hybrid Rps3-LAGLIDADG...
