Evolution of a new function by degenerative mutation in cephalochordate steroid receptors.

PLoS genetics - 12 Sept 2008

Bridgham Jamie T, Brown Justine E, Rodríguez-Marí Adriana, Catchen Julian M, Thornton Joseph W

Abstract excerpt

Gene duplication is the predominant mechanism for the evolution of new genes. Major existing models of this process assume that duplicate genes are redundant; degenerative mutations in one copy can therefore accumulate close to neutrally, usually leading to loss from the genome. When gene product...
