The paradox of extremely fast evolution driven by genetic drift in multi-copy gene systems

X. Wang, Y. Ruan, L. Zhang, X. Chen, B. Chen, M. E. Tracy, L. Huang, Z. Liufu, C.-I. Wu, H. Wen

The paper uses the GH model to analyze genetic drift in mammalian rDNA genes, finding that fixation times are faster than expected, suggesting stronger drift or adaptive evolution.

Run or die in the evolution of new microRNAs - Testing the Red Queen hypothesis on de novo new genes

Y. Zhao, G.-A. Lu, H. Yang, P. Lin, Z. Liufu, T. Tang, J. Xu

The paper tests the Red Queen hypothesis by analyzing two Drosophila de novo miRNAs, finding their fitness contributions vary between species, supporting their different evolutionary fates.

Mechanisms of gene death in the Red Queen race revealed by the analysis of de novo microRNAs

G.-A. Lu, Y. Zhao, A. Lan, Z. Liufu, H. Wen, T. Tang, J. Xu, C.-I. Wu

The paper investigates how de novo microRNAs in Drosophila affect male fitness and reveals that adaptive de novo genes may die due to canceling fitness effects, suggesting quasi-neutrality and ongoing period-specific adaptations.
