Abstract excerpt
Poorly conserved or taxonomically restricted genes represent a sizable portion of most genomes. Many of these genes participate in essential processes and can contribute to evolutionary innovation in species. Here, we evaluate two of the Caenorhabditis-restricted class of LIN-15B-domain-encoding genes, ivph-3 and gon-14, and compare their in vivo functions in two species, C. elegans and C. briggsae. We show that...
