Formation and longevity of chimeric and duplicate genes in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2009

Rogers Rebekah L, Bedford Trevor, Hartl Daniel L

Abstract excerpt

Historically, duplicate genes have been regarded as a major source of novel genetic material. However, recent work suggests that chimeric genes formed through the fusion of pieces of different genes may also contribute to the evolution of novel functions. To compare the contribution of chimeric and duplicate genes to genome evolution, we measured their prevalence and persistence within Drosophila melanogaster. We...
