Abstract
Although the constraints on a gene's sequence are often assumed to reflect the functioning of that gene, here we propose transfer selection, a constraint operating on one class of genes transferred to another, mediated by shared binding factors. We show that such transfer can explain an otherwise paradoxical depletion of stop codons in long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs). Serine/arginine-rich proteins direct the splicing machinery by...
