De novo emergence, existence, and demise of a protein-coding gene in murids

Abstract Background Genes, principal units of genetic information, vary in complexity and evolutionary history. Less-complex genes (e.g., long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expressing genes) readily emerge de novo from non-genic sequences and have high evolutionary turnover. Genesis of a gene may be facil...
