New gene formation is one of the major sources of evolutionary innovations for organisms. Beyond their mutational effects, transposable elements can be source of new genes. During my thesis, I have studied Harbinger DNA transposons, which I have characterized in teleost fish genomes. Moreover, I have identified four new genes derived from Harbinger transposons in vertebrates by bioinformatical screening. Three of them were formed at the base of jawed vertebrates around 500 million years ago, and another at the base of sarcopterygians around 430 million years ago. Using the zebrafish model, we have observed that these genes are expressed during early development and in adult tissues, with a co-expression in male brain. They are also activate...
