Verbatim
e0“this extensive functional integration occurred without the co-transfer of nuclear regulatory factors; Lophophytum relies entirely on its pre-existing native machinery.”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Most functional xenologues are chimaeric and retain native 5 prime regions.
- Mechanism Native 5 prime regions probably put foreign coding sequences under a recognized native promoter.
- Observation RNA editing machinery processes novel host specific sites efficiently.
- Association Functional replacement favors genes with low editing requirements and no introns.
