Emergence of Young Human Genes after a Burst of Retroposition in Primates
Emergence of Young Human Genes after a Burst of Retroposition in Primates is a scholarly work by Alexandre Reymond, Isabelle Dupanloup, Ana C Marques, and Henrik Kaessmann, published in 2005 in ''PLOS Biology''. The main subjects of the publication include Concerted evolution, biology, molecular evolution, gene, polyploidy, natural selection, genetically modified animal, phenotype, biological function, gene duplication, phylogenetics, primate, evolutionary biology, selection (genetic algorithm), purifying selection, genetics, lineage, and human evolutionary genetics. The authors estimate that at least one new retrogene per million years emerged on the human lineage during the past approximately 63 million years of primate evolution.
