De novo gene evolution describes the process by which entirely new genes originate from previously non-coding DNA rather than from the duplication and divergence of existing genetic material. This ...

Professor Indraneel Mittra and his team show that DNA fragments from dying cells function as agents of horizontal gene transfer in mammalian cells. For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can ...

A new review by Erich Bornberg-Bauer and Lars A. Eicholt summarizes current understanding of protein-coding de novo genes—genes that originate from previously non-coding DNA. Once considered rare or ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

Scientists have sequenced a South American lungfish genome, revealing 91 billion DNA base pairs. This is 30 times more DNA than humans, setting a new record. The discovery ranks as the largest animal ...
