The Landscape of Stop Codon-Free Regions in Primates: A Reservoir of Proto-Genes

2026-03-02

Abstract excerpt

Gene duplication has long been viewed as the primary source of new genes, yet growing evidence suggests that de novo emergence from non-coding DNA may be more common than previously assumed, requiring unbiased genome-wide strategies to identify its structural precursors. New protein-coding genes can arise from non-coding DNA, but the sequence features enabling this transition remain unclear. Here, we systematicall...
