Abstract
Papers from the labs of Peter Holland and Jordi Paps investigate patterns of gene presence and absence in plants and animals. Their studies lead to the surprising finding that novel genes do not accumulate with Darwinian gradualism in the phylogeny. The authors describe bursts of innovation with novel gene gains, massive gene losses, and frequent horizontal gene transfer in the history of life.
