Gene conversion and functional divergence in the beta-globin gene family.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Aug 2004

Aguileta Gabriela, Bielawski Joseph P, Yang Ziheng

Abstract excerpt

Different models of gene family evolution have been proposed to explain the mechanism whereby gene copies created by gene duplications are maintained and diverge in function. Ohta proposed a model which predicts a burst of nonsynonymous substitutions following gene duplication and the preservation of duplicates through positive selection. An alternative model, the duplication-degeneration-complementation (DDC)...
