De novo genes

L Zhao, N Svetec, DJ Begun - Annual Review of Genetics, 2024 - annualreviews.org
Although the majority of annotated new genes in a given genome appear to have arisen
from duplication-related mechanisms, recent studies have shown that genes can also …

The origin and structural evolution of de novo genes in Drosophila

J Peng, L Zhao - Nature Communications, 2024 - nature.com
Recent studies reveal that de novo gene origination from previously non-genic sequences is
a common mechanism for gene innovation. These young genes provide an opportunity to …

Transcriptional and mutational signatures of the Drosophila ageing germline

E Witt, CB Langer, N Svetec, L Zhao - Nature ecology & evolution, 2023 - nature.com
Ageing is a complex biological process that is accompanied by changes in gene expression
and mutational load. In many species, including humans, older fathers pass on more …

BD Clifton, I Hariyani, A Kimura, F Luo… - Communications …, 2023 - nature.com
How recently originated gene copies become stable genomic components remains
uncertain as high sequence similarity of young duplicates precludes their functional …

Expressed genes and their new alleles identification during fibre elongation reveal the genetic factors underlying improvements of fibre length in cotton

J Ma, Y Jiang, W Pei, M Wu, Q Ma, J Liu… - Plant Biotechnology …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Interspecific breeding in cotton takes advantage of genetic recombination among desirable
genes from different parental lines. However, the expression new alleles (ENAs) from …
