Happy to announce that our paper on orphan genes in bacteria dropped in PNAS yesterday!
This is a problem I've been thinking about since the start of my PhD. Grateful for this journey, as well as All The Friends I Made Along the Way.
Also, Eid Mubarak to those who celebrate!

Fresh news on de novo genes! Happy to present our latest work published in Nature communications: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Keywords not in specific order: intergenic ORFs, de novo genes, GC content, foldability, genetic code, ancestral sequence reconstruction and more :)

We identified clear signatures of de novo origin for 4,838 microOGs. These smORFs often overlap with regulatory elements in intergenic regions, suggesting that translation-coupled regulatory mechanisms of gene expression may contribute to de novo microprotein emergence

Our analysis indicates that bacterial pangenomes are largely closed, suggesting that the capacity of intergenic regions to generate de novo genes is limited.

Latest from the lab: we’ve found that arbitrium phages can cross-communicate across species. Their molecular “language” isn’t as private as we thought.
The original idea came from @AlbertoMarina14. As always, he was right.
