摘要：

The genome is not static - it is dynamic and constantly evolving. A striking example of this comes with the identification of a recently evolved gene that encodes a component of a sperm protein. The gene,Sdic, was created from two different parts of two unrelated genes. What's more, part of an intron from one of the original genes was refashioned into a protein-coding exon in the new gene.
