New genomic signals underlying the emergence of human proto-genes

2022-01-04

Abstract excerpt

De novo genes are novel genes which emerge from non-coding DNA. Until now, little is known about de novo genes properties, correlated to their age and mechanisms of emergence. In this study, we investigate four properties: introns, upstream regulatory motifs, 5’ UTRs and protein domains, in 23135 human proto-genes. We found that proto-genes contain introns, whose number and position correlates with the genomic po...
