Genome research - 1 Oct 1998
Mazzarella R, Schlessinger D
Abstract excerpt
As large-scale sequencing accumulates momentum, an increasing number of instances are being revealed in which genes or other relatively rare sequences are duplicated, either in tandem or at nearby locations. Such duplications are a source of considerable polymorphism in populations, and also increase the evolutionary possibilities for the coregulation of juxtaposed sequences. As a further consequence, they...
