Abstract: Abstract Orphan genes are genes with no sequence homologues in other species. Here, we identified two orphan genes, namely, Tssor-3 and Tssor-4, in Plutella xylostella. Both genes contained a signal peptide sequence, suggesting their functions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msystems.00290-18
Abstract: Recent pangenome analyses of numerous bacterial species have suggested that each genome of a single species may have a significant fraction of its gene content unique or shared by a very few genomes (i.e., ORFans).… read more here.

Abstract: Orphan genes (OGs) lack homologs in related species and have been associated with adaptive evolution. However, it is poorly characterized in Brassica napus (rapeseed). This study aims to identify and characterize OGs in rapeseed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.53500
Abstract: The origin of ‘orphan’ genes, species-specific sequences that lack detectable homologues, has remained mysterious since the dawn of the genomic era. There are two dominant explanations for orphan genes: complete sequence divergence from ancestral genes,… read more here.
