2003年11月1日 · The classical model of new gene origination by duplication has been tested by examining young duplicates of ribonuclease and other genes, and has shown a clear link between new biological...

2025年1月28日 · In the past decade, our understanding of how new genes originate in diverse organisms has advanced substantially, and more than a dozen molecular mechanisms for generating initial gene structures ...

New gene origination is a driving force of evolutionary innovation in all organisms. Recent research has focused on identifying the mechanisms that generate new genes, and...

Here, I review the origin and evolution of new genes and their functions in eukaryotes, an area of research that has made rapid progress in the past decade thanks to the genomics revolution. Indeed, recent work has provided initial whole-genome views of the different types of new genes for a large number of different organisms.

DNA from the Beginning is organized around key concepts. animation, image gallery, video interviews, problem, biographies, and links. Since the DNA Learning Center was established in 1988, we've been advancing genetics education for students and families.

New genes now appear to be potent drivers of phenotypic evolution and the genetic control of important biological processes, and show that organismal development and organ development have evolved species-specific and lineage-specific components.

The study of ancient genes has highlighted the antiquity and general importance of some mechanisms of gene origination, and recent observations of young genes at early stages in their evolution have unveiled unexpected molecular and evolutionary processes.

2012年1月1日 · New genes are a major source of genetic innovation in genomes. However, until recently, understanding how new genes originate and how they evolve was hampered by the lack of appropriate genetic datasets. The advent of the genomic era brought about a revolution in the...

We have developed a systematic approach to searching for young genes at the genomic level, in the hope to summarize a general pattern of the origination and evolution of new genes, such as the rate of new gene appearance, impact of new genes on their host genomes, etc.

2015年8月31日 · New genes appear to burst into existence at various points along the evolutionary history of the mouse lineage (red line). The surge around 800 million years ago corresponds to the time when...
