Innovation of heterochromatin functions drives rapid evolution of essential ZAD-ZNF genes in Drosophila

Contrary to dogma, evolutionarily young and dynamic genes can encode essential functions. We find that evolutionarily dynamic ZAD-ZNF genes, which encode the most abundant class of insect transcription factors, are more likely to encode essential functions in Drosophila melanogaster than ancient, co...
