Abstract: The hatcing enzyme gene (HE) encodes a protease that is indispensable for the hatching process and is conserved during vertebrate evolution. During teleostean evolution, it is known that HE experienced a drastic transfiguration of gene… read more here.

Abstract: Retrocopies, which are considered “junk genes,” are occasionally formed via the insertion of reverse-transcribed mRNAs at new positions in the genome. However, an increasing number of recent studies have shown that some retrocopies exhibit new… read more here.
