MIPhy: Identify and quantify rapidly evolving members of large gene families

2018-03-01

Abstract excerpt

After transitioning to a new environment, species often exhibit rapid phenotypic innovation. One of the fastest mechanisms for this is duplication followed by specialization of existing genes, which leaves a phylogenetic signature of lineage-specific expansions and contractions. These can be identified by analyzing the gene family across several species and identifying patterns of gene duplication and loss that do...
