Intron sliding is the relocation of intron-exon boundaries over short distances and is often also referred to as intron slippage or intron migration or intron drift. We have generated a database containing discordant intron positions in homologous genes (MIDB--Mismatched Intron DataBase). Discordant intron positions are those that are either closely located in homologous genes (within a window of 10 nucleotides) or an intron position that is present in one gene but not in any of its homologs. The MIDB database aims at systematically collecting information about mismatched introns in the genes from GenBank and organizing it into a form useful for understanding the genomics and dynamics of introns thereby helping understand the evolution of genes.
