Ancient evolutionary signals of protein-coding sequences allow the discovery of new genes in the Drosophila melanogaster genome

Abstract Background The current growth in DNA sequencing techniques makes of genome annotation a crucial task in the genomic era. Traditional gene finders focus on protein-coding sequences, but they are far from being exhaustive. The number of this kind of genes continuously increases due to new exp...
