The evolution of gene duplicates.

Advances in genetics - 1 Jan 2002

Otto Sarah P, Yong Paul

Abstract excerpt

Gene and genome duplications have given rise to enormous variability among species in the number of genes within their genomes. Gene copies have in turn played important roles in adaptation, having been implicated in the evolution of the immune response, insecticide resistance, efficient protein synthesis, and vertebrate body plans. In this chapter, we discuss the life history of gene duplications, from their...
