Acquisition of new function through gene duplication in the metallocarboxypeptidase family
Scientific Reports, 2023 Gene duplication is a key first step in the process of expanding the functionality of a multigene family. In order to better understand the process of gene duplication and its role in the formation of new enzymes, we investigated recent duplication ...

The Role of Retrotransposons in Gene Family Expansions: Insights from the Mouse \u3ci\u3eAbp\u3c/i\u3e Gene Family [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Retrotransposons have been suggested to provide a substrate for non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) and thereby promote gene family expansion. Their precise role, however, is controversial.

Horizontal transfer, not duplication, drives the expansion of protein families in prokaryotes. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2011 Gene duplication followed by neo- or sub-functionalization deeply impacts the evolution of protein families and is regarded as the main source of adaptive functional novelty in eukaryotes.

Gene duplication in an African cichlid adaptive radiation [PDF]
, 2014 Background Gene duplication is a source of evolutionary innovation and can contribute to the divergence of lineages; however, the relative importance of this process remains to be determined.

Parallel reorganization of protein function in the spindle checkpoint pathway through evolutionary paths in the fitness landscape that appear neutral in laboratory experiments. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Regulatory networks often increase in complexity during evolution through gene duplication and divergence of component proteins. Two models that explain this increase in complexity are: 1) adaptive changes after gene duplication, such as resolution of ...

Complexity Insights of the Minimum Duplication Problem [PDF]
, 2014 International audienceThe Minimum Duplication problem is a well-known problem in phylogenetics and comparative genomics. Given a set of gene trees, the Minimum Duplication problem asks for a species tree that induces the minimum number of gene ...
