According to RepeatMasker annotation, all the L1-TDs in Table 1are of a primate-specific lineage, and it is believed that the ancestral primate genome, the structure of which is thought to be very similar to the modern human genome, existed 60-70 Mya [ 49 ] . Thus, at the earliest point in time that we can reliably detect intact L1 elements, most human genes may have been largely established.
A convincing instance of neofunctionalization is the evolution of antibacterial activity in the ECP gene in Old World Monkeys and hominoids after a burst of amino-acid changes following the tandem duplication of the progenitor gene EDN (a ribonuclease) some 30 MYA (Zhang et al.
For example, one such event appears to have occurred 7-10 million years ago (Mya) with exon 9 of CFTR , the caveat being that there is no L1 element upstream of this particular exon in CFTR itself [ 32 ] . In our analysis, we found three transduced sequences with similarity to CFTR exon 9; however, two of them were part of a segmental duplication, and the third had a nearby sequencing gap, precluding assessment of its duplication status.
The two XI myosins with the closest similarity are At XIB and At MYA2.
We used the motor domain from MYA1 to search the Arabidopsis database [ 11] for sequences with similarity to this domain.
