Subfunctionalization: How often does it occur? How long does it take?

Theoretical population biology - 1 Sept 2004

Ward Rachel, Durrett Richard

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms responsible for the preservation of duplicate genes have been debated for more than 70 years. Recently, Lynch and Force have proposed a new explanation: subfunctionalization--after duplication the two gene copies specialize to perform complementary functions. We investigate the probability that subfunctionalization occurs, the amount of time after duplication that it takes for the outcome to be...
