Why do yeast #de_novo genes have so many transmembrane domains? It's because the genomic regions from which they evolved are super enriched in stretches of A's and T's ! Our work with @timothyfuqua.bsky.social is now published in @jevbio.bsky.social

Abstract. New genes can emerge de novo from non-genic genomic regions. In budding yeast, computational predictions have shown that intergenic regions harbo
