Journal ArticleDOI

Long non-coding RNAs as a source of new peptides

TL;DR: It is found that a large fraction of the lncRNAs expressed in cells from six different species is associated with ribosomes, indicating that they play an important role in de novo protein evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extreme genomic erosion after recurrent demographic bottlenecks in the highly endangered Iberian lynx.

TL;DR: A series of severe population bottlenecks in the history of the Iberian lynx that predate its known demographic decline during the 20th century and have greatly impacted its genome evolution are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origins of De Novo Genes in Human and Chimpanzee

TL;DR: Data from in-depth sequencing of the transcriptomes of four mammalian species support a model in which frequently-occurring new transcriptional events in the genome provide the raw material for the evolution of new proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Translation of neutrally evolving peptides provides a basis for de novo gene evolution

TL;DR: It is concluded that the pervasive translation of the transcriptome provides plenty of material for the evolution of new functional proteins and the translation of these neutrally evolving peptides may be facilitated by the chance occurrence of open reading frames with a favourable codon composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Translation of Small Open Reading Frames: Roles in Regulation and Evolutionary Innovation.

TL;DR: This work proposes a comprehensive classification that includes the new types of translated ORFs in addition to standard proteins, and it also includes small regulatory open reading frames (ORFs), functional micropeptides, de novo proteins and the pervasive translation of likely nonfunctional proteins.
