Evidence from Drosophila Supports Higher Duplicability of Faster Evolving Genes
(2022)The faster rate of evolution of duplicated genes relative to singletons has been well documented in multiple lineages. This observation has generally been attributed to a presumed release from constraint following creation ... -
Faster Evolving Primate Genes Are More Likely to Duplicate
(2018)An attractive and long-standing hypothesis regarding the evolution of genes after duplication posits that the duplication event creates new evolutionary possibilities by releasing a copy of the gene from constraint. Apparent ... -
De Novo Origins of Human Genes
(2011)Where do new genes come from? For a long time the answer to that question has simply been ?from other genes?. The most prolific source of new loci in eukaryotic genomes is gene duplication in all its guises: exon shuffling, ... -
The Roles of Whole-Genome and Small-Scale Duplications in the Functional Specialization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Genes
(2013)Researchers have long been enthralled with the idea that gene duplication can generate novel functions, crediting this process with great evolutionary importance. Empirical data shows that whole-genome duplications (WGDs) ...
