Transposable Elements Facilitate the De Novo Origin of Antifreeze Protein and the Diversification of Its Gene Family in Snailfishes

Nathan Rives, Prabodh Bajpai, Xuan Zhuang

This paper shows how transposable elements facilitated the de novo origin and diversification of antifreeze protein genes in snailfishes through regulatory sequence recruitment and locus expansion.
