Evolution by gene duplication revisited: differentiation of regulatory elements versus proteins.

Abstract excerpt

For evolution by gene duplication, differentiation of both regulatory elements and proteins is important. Particularly the former is thought to have large effects on morphological evolution, since differential expression of genes is essential for development. In this report, recent knowledge on regulatory elements is reviewed that is relevant to the population genetics aspects of gene duplication. Regulatory...
