De novo genes are evolution’s magic trick—new genes appearing from non-coding DNA, much like a rabbit pulled from a hat. Once considered impossible, de novo genes have been identified in Drosophila ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...
