Epigenetic silencing may aid evolution by gene duplication.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jun 2003

Rodin Sergei N, Riggs Arthur D

Abstract excerpt

Gene duplication is commonly regarded as the main evolutionary path toward the gain of a new function. However, even with gene duplication, there is a loss-versus-gain dilemma: most newly born duplicates degrade to pseudogenes, since degenerative mutations are much more frequent than advantageous...
