The de novo emergence of new genes has been well documented through genomic analyses. However, a functional analysis, especially of very young protein-coding genes, is still largely lacking. Here, we identify a set of house mouse-specific protein-coding genes and assess their translation by ribosome profiling and mass spectrometry data. We functionally analyze one of them, <i>Gm13030</i>, which is specifically expressed in females in the oviduct. The interruption of the reading frame affects the ...[more]
