The evidence you brought forward with new corn gene was eye opening to me. Any more evidence of this type of evolution you can bring forward would be appreciated.

Well it’s of a similar nature to many other papers on de novo genes where comparative genetics are used to infer that (and how) novel protein coding genes emerge de novo from non-coding DNA. For example the paper that was discussed here not too long ago about de novo genes in rice.
