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.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.872137
Abstract: Orphan genes (OGs) that are missing identifiable homologs in other lineages may potentially make contributions to a variety of biological functions. The Cucurbitaceae family consists of a wide range of fruit crops of worldwide or… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.947129
Abstract: Orphan genes (OGs) are defined as genes having no sequence similarity with genes present in other lineages. OGs have been regarded to play a key role in the development of lineage-specific adaptations and can also… read more here.

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.
