Duplication and divergence: the evolution of new genes and old ideas.

Annual review of genetics - 1 Jan 2004

Taylor John S, Raes Jeroen

Abstract excerpt

Over 35 years ago, Susumu Ohno stated that gene duplication was the single most important factor in evolution. He reiterated this point a few years later in proposing that without duplicated genes the creation of metazoans, vertebrates, and mammals from unicellular organisms would have been impos...
