  1. ...million years). Despite this stable pace, we observe distinct patterns in phenotypic enrichment, pleiotropy, and selective pressures across gene ages. Young genes show significant enrichment in diseases related to the male reproductive system, indicating strong sexual selection. Young genes also exhibit...
  2. ...selection process relies on RNA binding proteins or splicing factors that enhance or repress exon inclusion following two main principles. First, splicing factors bind to short intronic or exonic motifs (or splicing regulatory sequences) that are often low-complexity sequences composed of the repetition...
  3. ...boundaries in intron-rich species? Extended complementarity to spliceosomal RNAs can sometimes inhibit splicing (e.g., Staley and Guthrie 1999), and alternatively spliced exons in rodents may be under selection tohaveboundarieswithonlyweakpairing to spliceosomal RNAs (Garg and Green 2007), suggesting...
  4. ...that besides TS, synonymous sites can be subject to additional levels of selective constraints. For instance, the presence of splice enhancers located within exons skews codon usage near exon–intron boundaries in mammalian genes (Parmley and Hurst 2007). However, this type of selective pressure is site...
  5. .... Using base substitution rates in intronic regions as a calibrator for neutral change, we found a strong avoidance of synonymous substitutions that disrupt predicted exonic splicing enhancers or create predicted exonic splicing silencers. These results attest to the functionality of the hexameric motif...
  6. ...disrupt endogenous gene regulation and 106 compromise genomic stability. Thus, selection cassettes are sometimes placed in 107 intronic regions to mitigate this limitation (Wang et al. 2022); however, these can 108 interfere with splicing and generate aberrant transcripts. Meanwhile, “safe harbor” loci...

  7. ...of selective pressures imposed on its sequence, hence is linked to the relative functional importance of the corresponding protein or protein domain for a given species. Typically, highly constrained coding regions correspond to loci whereas mutations are either associated with disease or are completely absent...
  8. ...of these represent new discoveries, including 70 previously undetected protein-coding genes. The novel coding genes are additionally supported by single-nucleotide variant evidence indicative of continued purifying selection in the human lineage, coding-exon splicing evidence from new GENCODE transcripts using next...
  9. ...-based protein domains as the unit for collapsing, and the other is a gene-level approach that, unlike standard methods, leverages existing evidence of purifying selection against missense variation on said domains. The application of these two collapsing methods to 3093 ALS cases and 8186 controls of European...
  10. ...-binding domain suggests that exon shuffling has played a role in the evolution of this family. An invariant splice junction in all members of the NR family except LXR β suggests a functional role for the intron. The ligand-binding domains of PXR and CAR are among the most divergent in the family. Their higher...
