How can new genes arise de novo?
Some days ago we presented the results of our most recent work on the evolution of new genes at SMBE 2015. In the talk “The link between pervasive transcription and de novo gene evolution” we discussed the possible mechanisms of … Continue reading

“Long non-coding RNAs as a source of new peptides” published in eLife
Abstract Deep transcriptome sequencing has revealed the existence of many transcripts that lack long or conserved open reading frames (ORFs) and which have been termed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). The vast majority of lncRNAs are lineage-specific and do not yet … Continue reading

Comparative genomics of mammalian hibernators using gene networks
We have recently published a paper at Integrative and Comparative Biology, embedded in the special issue Hibernation Dynamics in Mammals, where we query the latest available genomic data to explore a particularly interesting mammalian-specific adaptation: hibernation. Abstract: In recent years, … Continue reading
