On the possibility of death of new genes – evidence from the deletion of de novo microRNAs

BACKGROUND: New genes are constantly formed, sometimes from non-genic sequences, creating what is referred to as de novo genes. Since the total number of genes remains relatively steady, gene deaths likely balance out new births. In metazoan genomes, microRNAs (miRs) genes, small and non-coding, acc...
