Gene duplication and evolution in recurring polyploidization–diploidization cycles in plants

Genome Biology, 2019
Background The sharp increase of plant genome and transcriptome data provide valuable resources to investigate evolutionary consequences of gene duplication in a range of taxa, and unravel common principles underlying duplicate gene retention. Results We

The roles of segmental and tandem gene duplication in the evolution of large gene families in Arabidopsis thaliana

BMC Plant Biology, 2004
Background Most genes in Arabidopsis thaliana are members of gene families. How do the members of gene families arise, and how are gene family copy numbers maintained?

Can Introns Stabilize Gene Duplication? [PDF]

Biology, 2022
Gene duplication is considered one of the most important events that determine the evolution of genomes. However, the neo-duplication condition of a given gene is particularly unstable due to recombination events. Several mechanisms have been proposed to

Different Modes of Gene Duplication Show Divergent Evolutionary Patterns and Contribute Differently to the Expansion of Gene Families Involved in Important Fruit Traits in Pear (Pyrus bretschneideri)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Pear is an important fruit crop of the Rosaceae family and has experienced two rounds of ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs). However, whether different types of gene duplications evolved differently after duplication remains unclear in the pear ...

Genomic and transcriptomic analyses of the subterranean termite Reticulitermes speratus: Gene duplication facilitates social evolution

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Gene duplication is a major source of evolutionary innovation and is associated with the increases in biological complexity and adaptive radiation. Termites are model social organisms characterized by a sophisticated caste system.

Expression attenuation as a mechanism of robustness against gene duplication

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Many studies have focused on the mechanisms of long-term retention of gene duplicates, such as the gain of functions or reciprocal losses.

Gene Duplication and Gene Fusion Are Important Drivers of Tumourigenesis during Cancer Evolution

Genes, 2021
Chromosomal rearrangement and genome instability are common features of cancer cells in human. Consequently, gene duplication and gene fusion events are frequently observed in human malignancies and many of the products of these events are pathogenic ...

The Importance of Gene Duplication and Domain Repeat Expansion for the Function and Evolution of Fertilization Proteins

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
The process of gene duplication followed by gene loss or evolution of new functions has been studied extensively, yet the role gene duplication plays in the function and evolution of fertilization proteins is underappreciated.

Whole-genome and dispersed duplication, including transposed duplication, jointly advance the evolution of TLP genes in seven representative Poaceae lineages

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background In the evolutionary study of gene families, exploring the duplication mechanisms of gene families helps researchers understand their evolutionary history.
