Abstract excerpt
Gene duplication is a powerful source of biological innovation giving rise to paralogous genes that undergo diverse fates. Redundancy between paralogous genes is an intriguing outcome of duplicate gene evolution, and its maintenance over evolutionary time has long been considered a paradox. Redundancy can also be dubbed 'a geneticist's nightmare': It hinders the predictability of genome editing outcomes and...
