Neofunctionalization of duplicated genes under the pressure of gene conversion.
Genetics - 1 Mar 2008
Teshima Kosuke M, Innan Hideki
Abstract excerpt
Neofunctionalization occurs when a neofunctionalized allele is fixed in one of duplicated genes. This is a simple fixation process if duplicated genes accumulate mutations independently. However, the process is very complicated when duplicated genes undergo concerted evolution by gene conversion....
