genes
into a host cell genome.
The small T intron is an intron, that is used in some plasmid vectors, in order to induce gene expression in mammalian cells.
Function
The function of this intron in the vectors is unknown, but it is theorized that it might be involved in splicing or translation efficiency.[1][2]
Vectors such as pME18s contain it.
