Coming of age: orphan genes in plants
Sizable minorities of protein-coding genes from every sequenced eukaryotic and prokaryotic
genome are unique to the species. These so-called 'orphan genes' may evolve de novo from …

A chromosome-level genome for the nudibranch gastropod Berghia stephanieae helps parse clade-specific gene expression in novel and conserved phenotypes
Background How novel phenotypes originate from conserved genes, processes, and tissues
remains a major question in biology. Research that sets out to answer this question often …
