Origination of an X-linked testes chimeric gene by illegitimate recombination in Drosophila.
The formation of chimeric gene structures provides important routes by which novel proteins and functions are introduced into genomes. Signatures of these events have been identified in organisms from wide phylogenic distributions. However, the ability to characterize the early phases of these evolu...
