--- res: bibo_abstract: - The most common form of protein-coding gene overlap in eukaryotes is a simple nested structure, whereby one gene is embedded in an intron of another. Analysis of nested protein-coding genes in vertebrates, fruit flies and nematodes revealed substantially higher rates of evolutionary gains than losses. The accumulation of nested gene structures could not be attributed to any obvious functional relationships between the genes involved and represents an increase of the organizational complexity of animal genomes via a neutral process.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Raquel foaf_name: Assis, Raquel foaf_surname: Assis - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Alexey foaf_name: Kondrashov, Alexey S foaf_surname: Kondrashov - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Eugene foaf_name: Koonin, Eugene V foaf_surname: Koonin - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Fyodor foaf_name: Fyodor Kondrashov foaf_surname: Kondrashov foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=44FDEF62-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0001-8243-4694 bibo_doi: 10.1016/j.tig.2008.08.003 bibo_issue: '10' bibo_volume: 24 dct_date: 2008^xs_gYear dct_publisher: Elsevier@ dct_title: Nested genes and increasing organizational complexity of metazoan genomes@ ...
