Alternative Processing as Evolutionary Mechanism for the Origin of Novel Nonprotein Coding RNAs
The evolution of new genes can ensue through either gene duplication and the neofunctionalization of one of the copies or the formation of a de novo gene from hitherto nonfunctional, neutrally evolving intergenic or intronic genomic sequences. Only very rarely are entire genes created de novo. Mostl...
