Mosaic origins of a complex chimeric mitochondrial gene in Silene vulgaris.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Storchova Helena, Müller Karel, Lau Steffen, Olson Matthew S

Abstract excerpt

Chimeric genes are significant sources of evolutionary innovation that are normally created when portions of two or more protein coding regions fuse to form a new open reading frame. In plant mitochondria astonishingly high numbers of different novel chimeric genes have been reported, where they are generated through processes of rearrangement and recombination. Nonetheless, because most studies do not find or...
