Evolution of multigene families by gene duplication. A haploid model.

Genetics - 1 Aug 1998

Tachida H, Kuboyama T

Abstract excerpt

Evolution of multigene families by gene duplication and subsequent diversification is analyzed assuming a haploid model without interchromosomal crossing over. Chromosomes with more different genes are assumed to have higher fitness. Advantageous and deleterious mutations and duplication/deletion...
