Frequent birth of de novo genes in the compact yeast genome

W. R. Blevins, J. Ruiz-Orera, X. Messeguer, B. Blasco-Moreno, J. L. Villanueva-Canas, L. Espinar, J. Diez, L. Carey, M. M. Alba

This study identifies de novo genes in yeast genomes, showing they arise frequently despite compact genomes and some are translated and under selection.

Frequent translation of small open reading frames in evolutionary conserved lncRNA regions

J. Ruiz-Orera, M. M. Alba

The paper identifies translated open reading frames in conserved transcripts using ribosome profiling and finds they are enriched for functional micropeptides and non-ribosomal interactions.

Evidence for functional and non-functional classes of peptides translated from long non-coding RNAs

J. Ruiz-Orera, P. Verdaguer-Grau, J. L. Villanueva-Canas, X. Messeguer, M. M. Alba

The paper identifies prevalent peptides from mouse genes without rat/human homologues, suggesting they arise from neutral processes rather than functional necessity.

New genes and functional innovation in mammals

J. L. Villanueva-Canas, J. Ruiz-Orera, M. I. Agea, M. Gallo, D. Andreu, M. M. Alba

The paper identifies mammalian-specific gene families and finds that new genes often originate from non-coding regions and are expressed in testis, suggesting a role for sexual selection in their evolution.
