Evolution of protein expression: new genes for a new diet.

Current biology : CB - 4 Dec 2007

Coyne Jerry A, Hoekstra Hopi E

Abstract excerpt

A new study identifies gene duplication of a salivary enzyme as a recent adaptation to changes in diet among human populations, highlighting the diverse ways that gene regulation can evolve.
