Coding repeats and evolutionary "agility".

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Jun 2005

Caburet Sandrine, Cocquet Julie, Vaiman Daniel, Veitia Reiner A

Abstract excerpt

The rapid generation of new shapes observed in the living world is the result of genetic variation, especially in "morphological" developmental genes. Many of these genes contain coding tandem repeats. Fondon and Garner have shown that expansions and contractions of these repeats are associated with the great diversity of morphologies observed in the domestic dog, Canis familiaris. In particular, they found that...
