Fast turnover of genome transcription across evolutionary time exposes entire non-coding DNA to de novo gene emergence

Deep sequencing analyses have shown that a large fraction of genomes is transcribed, but the significance of this transcription is much debated. Here, we characterize the phylogenetic turnover of poly-adenylated transcripts in a comprehensive sampling of taxa of the mouse (genus Mus), spanning a phy...
