The origin and structural evolution of de novo genes in Drosophila

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Junhui Peng and Li Zhao | Summary: Although previously thought to be unlikely, recent studies have shown that de novo gene origination from previously non-genic sequences is a common mechanism for gene innovation in many species and taxa. These young genes provide a unique set of candidates to study […]

An engineered biosensor enables dynamic aspartate measurements in living cells

Kavli Affiliate: Timothy Brown | Authors: Kristian Davidsen, Jonathan S Marvin, Abhi Aggarwal, Timothy A Brown and Lucas B Sullivan | Summary: Intracellular levels of the amino acid aspartate are responsive to changes in metabolism in mammalian cells and can correspondingly alter cell function, highlighting the need for robust tools to measure aspartate abundance. However, […]
