id: GO:0006316
name: movement of group I intron
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: Lateral transfer of a group I intron to a homologous allele that lacks the intron, mediated by a site-specific endonuclease encoded within the mobile intron; group I introns are self-splicing introns that use guanosine as a cofactor in the splicing reaction.
