De Novo Genes are "Frozen Accidents" whichEscaped Rapid Turnover of Pervasively TranscribedORFs

Jonathan Schmitz, Kristian Ullrich, Erich Bornberg-Bauer

The paper investigates de novo gene emergence and finds that novel ORFs are rapidly lost, with only length and nucleotide composition changing over time, suggesting they are functional 'frozen accidents'.
