New Genomic Signals Underlying the Emergence of Human Proto-Genes
bioRxiv, 2022 De novo genes are novel genes which emerge from non-coding DNA. Until now, little is known about de novo genes properties, correlated to their age and mechanisms of emergence.

Geobiology, 2021 Modern cryptogamic ground covers (CGCs), comprising assemblages of bryophytes (hornworts, liverworts, mosses), fungi, bacteria, lichens and algae, are thought to resemble early divergent terrestrial communities.

Oncogenes, Proto-Oncogenes, and Lineage Restriction of Cancer Stem Cells
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 In principle, an oncogene is a cellular gene (proto-oncogene) that is dysfunctional, due to mutation and fusion with another gene or overexpression. Generally, oncogenes are viewed as deregulating cell proliferation or suppressing apoptosis in driving ...

The Oligo–Miocene closure of the Tethys Ocean and evolution of the proto-Mediterranean Sea
Scientific Reports, 2020 The tectonically driven Cenozoic closure of the Tethys Ocean invoked a significant reorganization of oceanic circulation and climate patterns on a global scale. This process culminated between the Mid Oligocene and Late Miocene, although its exact timing

Mutually stabilizing interactions between proto-peptides and RNA
Nature Communications, 2020 The close synergy between peptides and nucleic acids in current biology is suggestive of a functional co-evolution between the two polymers. Here we show that cationic proto-peptides (depsipeptides and polyesters), either produced as mixtures from ...

Proto-oncogene Src links lipogenesis via lipin-1 to breast cancer malignancy
Nature Communications, 2020 Increased lipogenesis has been linked to an increased cancer risk and poor prognosis; however, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. Here we show that phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) lipin-1, which generates diglyceride precursors necessary for ...

Thematic proto-roles and argument selection
, 1991 As a novel attack on the perennially vexing questions of the theoretical status of thematic roles and the inventory of possible roles, this paper defends a strategy of basing accounts of roles on more unified domains of linguistic data than have been ...

Condensation of Rubisco into a proto-pyrenoid in higher plant chloroplasts
Nature Communications, 2020 Photosynthetic CO2 fixation in plants is limited by the inefficiency of the CO2-assimilating enzyme Rubisco. In most eukaryotic algae, Rubisco aggregates within a microcompartment known as the pyrenoid, in association with a CO2-concentrating mechanism ...
