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

Copy-number changes in evolution: rates, fitness effects and adaptive significance
Frontiers in Genetics, 2013 Gene copy-number differences due to gene duplications and deletions are rampant in natural populations and play a crucial role in the evolution of genome complexity.

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 ...

The evolution of gene duplicates in angiosperms and the impact of protein-protein interactions and the mechanism of duplication [PDF]
, 2019 Gene duplicates, generated through either whole genome duplication (WGD) or small-scale duplication (SSD), are prominent in angiosperms and are believed to play an important role in adaptation and in generating evolutionary novelty.

Altered patterns of gene duplication and differential gene gain and loss in fungal pathogens
BMC Genomics, 2008 Background Duplication, followed by fixation or random loss of novel genes, contributes to genome evolution. Particular outcomes of duplication events are possibly associated with pathogenic life histories in fungi.
