FOUR MECHANISMS. “New genes generated by four main mechanisms have been examined: DNA-based duplication, retroposition, de novo origination and exon/domain shuffling. There have been no reports of new gene origination rates for mechanisms other than DNA-based duplication, RNA-based duplication, de novo origination, and gene recombination. Thus the rates of new gene origination we highlight should be viewed as serious underestimates.”
