Evidence for the recent origin of a bacterial protein-coding, overlapping orphan gene by evolutionary overprinting

BACKGROUND: Gene duplication is believed to be the classical way to form novel genes, but overprinting may be an important alternative. Overprinting allows entirely novel proteins to evolve de novo, i.e., formerly non-coding open reading frames within functional genes become expressed. Only three ca...
