Comparative genomics reveals a constant rate of origination and convergent acquisition of functional retrogenes in Drosophila

BACKGROUND: Processed copies of genes (retrogenes) are duplicate genes that originated through the reverse-transcription of a host transcript and insertion in the genome. This type of gene duplication, as any other, could be a source of new genes and functions. Using whole genome sequence data for 1...
