Intergenic exchange, geographic isolation, and the evolution of bioluminescent color for Pyrophorus click beetles.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2009

Feder Jeffrey L, Velez Sebastian

Abstract excerpt

Gene duplication is an evolutionary process in which the emergent property of the whole can become greater and different than the sum of its parts. One potential outcome for gene duplication is for loci to evolve different, yet related functions. In this case, intergenic exchange can shuffle blocks of differentiated nucleotides between paralogues to create new alleles and phenotypes rather than simply homogenize...
