Adaptive functional divergence among triplicated alpha-globin genes in rodents.

Genetics - 1 Mar 2008

Storz Jay F, Hoffmann Federico G, Opazo Juan C, Moriyama Hideaki

Abstract excerpt

The functional divergence of duplicated genes is thought to play an important role in the evolution of new developmental and physiological pathways, but the role of positive selection in driving this process remains controversial. The objective of this study was to test whether amino acid differences among triplicated alpha-globin paralogs of the Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus) and the deer mouse (Peromyscus...
