The eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN/RNase2) and its divergent orthologs, the mouse
eosinophil-associated RNases (mEars), are prominent secretory proteins of eosinophilic …

Simple Summary Out of the billions of nucleotides comprising the human DNA, a substantial
proportion (98%) represents non-coding DNA, meaning DNA that is not translated into …

Human disease caused by parasitic filarial nematodes is a major cause of global morbidity.
The parasites are transmitted by arthropod intermediate hosts and are responsible for …

New genes contribute substantially to adaptive evolutionary innovation, but the functional
evolution of new mammalian genes has been little explored at a broad scale. Previous work …

Background Pseudogenes are excellent markers for genome evolution, which are emerging
as crucial regulators of development and disease, especially cancer. However, systematic …

Background Wolbachia are among the most abundant symbiotic microbes on earth; they are
present in about 66% of all insect species, some spiders, mites and crustaceans, and most …

Pseudogenes are paralogs generated from ancestral functional genes (parents) during
genome evolution, which contain critical defects in their sequences, such as lacking a …

We identified and characterized the pseudogene complements of five plant species: four
dicots (Arabidopsis thaliana, Vitis vinifera, Populus trichocarpa and Phaseolus vulgaris) and …

This review examines and compares the diagnostic and prognostic capabilities of miRNAs
and lncRNAs derived from pseudogenes in cancer patients. Additionally, it delves into their …

Retrocopies are gene duplicates arising from reverse transcription of mature mRNA
transcripts and their insertion back into the genome. While long being regarded as …
