Faster Evolving Primate Genes Are More Likely to Duplicate.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2018

O'Toole Áine N, Hurst Laurence D, McLysaght Aoife

Abstract excerpt

An attractive and long-standing hypothesis regarding the evolution of genes after duplication posits that the duplication event creates new evolutionary possibilities by releasing a copy of the gene from constraint. Apparent support was found in numerous analyses, particularly, the observation of higher rates of evolution in duplicated as compared with singleton genes. Could it, instead, be that more duplicable...
