The paper studies tRNA gene evolution in Drosophila, finding rapid duplication and loss, sexual dimorphism in expression, and implications for regulatory diversity.

The paper identifies primate-specific genes as more essential in cancer cell lines and shows their increased co-expression in cancer networks.

This study identifies rare variants under positive selection in wild boar linked to cold adaptation, showing convergent molecular evolution with humans.

This study examines the rapid structural evolution of de novo genes in rice over 1 million years, finding faster changes in disordered regions and structured elements compared to gene duplicates.

This study identifies evolutionarily new genes in humans with disease phenotypes, showing their enrichment in male reproductive diseases and adaptive traits like brain size and color vision.

This study identifies syp as a gene regulating Starvation-Induced Hyperactivity in Drosophila through RNA-binding protein function and alternative splicing.

The paper analyzes new genes in Drosophila to show that recently evolved genes can quickly become essential for development.
