Abstract excerpt
Using a large set of orthologous human and mouse gene pairs, we have characterized genes that have been retained in duplicate in human over timescales comparable to the time of speciation of human and mouse. Orthologous gene pairs for which a paralogous gene has been present for much or all of the time since speciation show an increased rate of nonsynonymous substitution. We have related rate of divergence to...
