Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a water-use efficient adaptation of photosynthesis that has evolved independently many times in diverse lineages of flowering plants. We hypothesize that convergent evolution of protein sequence and temporal gene expression underpins the independent emergences o...

225 years ago, Alexander von Humboldt observed the first crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) tree, Clusia rosea (Clusiaceae). Since then, the photosynthetic and ecophysiological plasticity of Clusia

species have captivated the minds of plant scientists worldwide. CAM is a physiological adapt...

Increasing numbers of small proteins with diverse physiological roles are being identified and characterized in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems, but the origins and evolution of these proteins remain unclear. Recent genomic sequence analyses in several organisms suggest that new functions en...

Intergenic ORFs as elementary structural modules of de novo gene birth and protein evolution
Silene latifolia is a dioecious plant with heteromorphic sex chromosomes that have originated only ~10 MYA and is a promising model organism to study sex chromosome evolution in plants. Previous work suggests that S. latifolia XY chromosomes have gradually stopped recombining and the Y chromosome is...

How novel gene functions evolve is a fundamental question in biology. Mucin proteins, a functionally but not evolutionarily defined group of proteins, allow to study convergent evolution of gene function. By analyzing the genomic variation of mucins across a wide range of mammalian genomes, we propo...

Orphan genes are characteristic genomic features that have no detectable homology to genes in any other species and represent an important attribute of genome evolution as sources of novel genetic functions. Here, we identified 445 genes specific to Populus trichocarpa. Of these, we performed deeper...

The noncoding genome plays an important role in de novo gene birth and the emergence of genetic novelty. Nevertheless, how the properties of noncoding sequences could promote the birth of novel genes and shape the structural diversity and evolution of proteins remains unclear. Here, we investigated ...
