De novo gene birth

 * ... that de novo gene birth entails the evolution of novel genes from DNA sequences that were previously non-genic? Source: "As deduced by comparisons to the genomic syntenic regions in other species, these genes derive from previously non-genic regions of the genome." PLOS Genetics
 * ALT1: ... that de novo gene birth was once thought to be impossible but has now been observed in every species that has been systematically examined? Source: "The origin of novel protein-coding genes de novo was once considered so improbable as to be impossible. In less than a decade, and especially in the last five years, this view has been overturned by extensive evidence from diverse eukaryotic lineages." The Royal Society Publishing

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New, long enough, well-sourced, interesting new finding and hook. Shyamal (talk) 09:36, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg This article appears to be largely identical with a PLOS article and gives a 99% likelihood of copyvio on Earwig's tool. Please explain the circumstances of the creation of this article. Why is Jogmiez claiming credit for an article created by Evolution and evolvability and not even including the latter in the credits?

 * Hmm.. the https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=De_novo_gene_birth&diff=prev&oldid=898573572 template says it was academic-peer-reviewed and that it was published in PLoS... Shyamal (talk) 06:39, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for raising this. The article was adapted by me from this article, where it was initially written by and published under CC BY 4.0 as part of PLOS's 'Topic Pages' format to provide useful compatibly-licensed content for Wikipedia pages. See also this link for the information from PLOS's side, and a tracking category for such articles in Wikipedia (WP:J2W). Previous DYK examples in the format: 1, 2, 3, 4.
