Because they use RNA to store genes, their cellular hosts may synthesize their proteins as soon as they are infected and without the delay in waiting for transcription. On...

What is a gene whose sequence shows no similarity to existing genes called?
<text>What is a gene whose sequence shows no similarity to existing genes called?</text><reasoning>De novo or "orphan" genes, whose sequence shows no similarity to existing genes, are extremely rare. Estimates of the number of de novo genes in the human genome range from 18 to 60. Such genes are typically shorter and s...
