DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evaa193
Abstract: Abstract By introducing novel capacities and functions, new genes and gene families may play a crucial role in ecological transitions. Mechanisms generating new gene families include de novo gene birth, horizontal gene transfer, and neofunctionalization… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1008160
Abstract: De novo gene birth is the process by which new genes evolve from DNA sequences that were ancestrally non-genic. De novo genes represent a subset of novel genes, and may be proteincoding or instead act… read more here.

DOI: 10.1534/genetics.118.301249
Abstract: The same nucleotide sequence can encode multiple protein products in different reading frames, and these regions encode higher levels of intrinsic structural disorder than non-overlapping genes. Willis and Masel find that... The same nucleotide sequence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1534/genetics.119.302187
Abstract: Proteins are among the most important constituents of biological systems. Because all protein-coding genes have a noncoding ancestral form, the properties of noncoding sequences and how they shape the birth of novel proteins may influence… read more here.
