Coregulation of tandem duplicate genes slows evolution of subfunctionalization in mammals
2015-05-10
Abstract excerpt
Gene duplication is a fundamental process in genome evolution. However, most young duplicates are degraded into pseudogenes by loss-of-function mutations, and the factors that allow some duplicate pairs to survive long-term remain controversial. One class of models to explain duplicate retention invokes sub- or neofunctionalization, especially through evolution of gene expression, while other models focus on shari...
