Abstract excerpt
It is well known that repositioning of a gene often exerts a strong impact on its own expression and whole development. Here we report the results of genome-wide analyses suggesting that repositioning may also radically change the evolutionary fate of gene duplicates. As an indicator of these changes, we used the GC content of gene pairs which originated by duplication. This indicator turned out to be...
