Turning a hobby into a job: how duplicated genes find new functions.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Dec 2008

Conant Gavin C, Wolfe Kenneth H

Abstract excerpt

Gene duplication provides raw material for functional innovation. Recent advances have shed light on two fundamental questions regarding gene duplication: which genes tend to undergo duplication? And how does natural selection subsequently act on them? Genomic data suggest that different gene classes tend to be retained after single-gene and whole-genome duplications. We also know that functional differences...
