Where do new genes come from? @HassanZaman91 @barricklab &co show that within the timescale of the #LTEE experiment, the co-option of #promoters, mainly from #TransposableElements, serves as the major source of raw material for #DeNovoGenes #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4a8p6DT
Promoter recruitment drives the emergence of proto-genes in a long-term evolution experiment with Escherichia coli
De novo gene birth from non-genic sequence has received considerable attention due to the widespread occurrence of genes that are unique to particular species. This study shows that within the short evolutionary timescale of the iconic E.plos.io
