This project examines the emergence and evolutionary dynamics of orphan genes, which are unique to specific lineages. It aims to understand how these genes contribute to adaptations and the evolution of genomes.
Gene evolution has long been thought to be driven primarily by duplication or transposition mechanisms, followed by divergence of the duplicated copy.
However, every evolutionary lineage harbours also so-called orphan genes, which have no homologues in other evolutionary lineages i.e. which do not appear to have arisen via gene duplication mechanisms, or have diverged to a point where their origins can not be traced anymore.
Orphan genes are generally thought to be important drivers of taxon sp…
