Positive selection for the male functionality of a co-retroposed gene in the hominoids.

BMC evolutionary biology - 15 Oct 2009

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: New genes generated by retroposition are widespread in humans and other mammalian species. Usually, this process copies a single parental gene and inserts it into a distant genomic location. However, retroposition of two adjacent parental genes, i.e. co-retroposition, had not been reported until the hominoid chimeric gene, PIPSL, was identified recently. It was shown how two genes linked in tandem...
