Gene birth in a model of non-genic adaptation
Abstract Background Over evolutionary timescales, genomic loci can switch between functional and non-functional states through processes such as pseudogenization and de novo gene birth. Particularly, de novo gene birth is a widespread process, and many examples continue to be discovered across diver...
