Proposed evolutionary model of young TSSs. The origin of new TSSs is promoted by sequence-intrinsic and -extrinsic factors. In the early phase, newly emerged TSSs undergo rapid sequence evolution, allowing genomic conflicts associated with repeats to be resolved. In the later phases, surviving TSSs gradually gain mutations in surrounding regions which could increase their regulatory capacity.
