Eukaryote Genes Are More Likely than Prokaryote Genes to Be Composites
The formation of new genes by combining parts of existing genes is an important evolutionary process. Remodelled genes, which we call composites, have been investigated in many species, however, their distribution across all of life is still unknown. We set out to examine the extent to which genomes...
