Paleozoic Protein Fossils Illuminate the Evolution of Vertebrate Genomes and Transposable Elements

2021-11-26

Abstract excerpt

Genomes hold a treasure trove of protein fossils: fragments of formerly protein-coding DNA, which mainly come from transposable elements (TEs) or host genes. These fossils reveal ancient evolution of TEs and genomes, and many fossils have been exapted to perform diverse functions important for the host’s fitness. However, old and highly-degraded fossils are hard to identify, standard methods (e.g. BLAST) are not o...
