Not easy to describe the emotions of seeing our work published in @cellpress.bsky.social ! We explored how novel isoforms emerge during evolution through the exonization of Transposable Elements. Exonized TEs modify the functions and structures of host proteins.

Transposable element exonization generates a reservoir of evolving and functional protein isoforms
Transposable element exonization by unannotated splicing events produces stable protein isoforms with acquired functions that are subject to evolutionary selection.
