Alain,
The olfactory receptor is a gene family that is intronless, to name
just one. Check out:
AUTHORS Glusman G, Clifton S, Roe B and Lancet D.
TITLE Sequence analysis in the olfactory receptor gene cluster on human
chromosome 17: recombinatorial events affecting receptor diversity
JOURNAL Genomics 37 (2), 147-160 (1996)

=> Subject: genes without introns
=> Hi,
=>
=> i am looking for exemples of genes which have been sequenced in
=> different vertebrate species, which are made of several exons and
=> introns in most of them, but which doesnt contain any intron in one
=> (or several) species. i am of course only interested in transcribed
=> and functional genes, not in pseudogenes.
=>
=> thanks in advance,
=>
