Duplicate Genes Contribute to Variability in Abiotic Stress Resistance in Allopolyploid Wheat
Plants, 2023 Gene duplication is a universal biological phenomenon that drives genomic variation and diversity, plays a crucial role in plant evolution, and contributes to innovations in genetic engineering and crop development.

Evolution of new enzymes by gene duplication and divergence
The FEBS Journal, 2020 Thousands of new metabolic and regulatory enzymes have evolved by gene duplication and divergence since the dawn of life. New enzyme activities often originate from promiscuous secondary activities that have become important for fitness due to a change ...

Promoter evolution of mammalian gene duplicates
BMC Biology, 2023 Background Gene duplication is thought to be a central process in evolution to gain new functions. The factors that dictate gene retention following duplication as well paralog gene divergence in sequence, expression and function have been extensively ...

Gene duplication drives genome expansion in a major lineage of Thaumarchaeota
Nature Communications, 2020 Ammonia-oxidising archaea of the phylum Thaumarchaeota are important organisms in the nitrogen cycle, but the mechanisms driving their radiation into diverse ecosystems remain underexplored. Here, existing thaumarchaeotal genomes are complemented with 12

Independent large scale duplications in multiple M. tuberculosis lineages overlapping the same genomic region [PDF]
, 2012 Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of most human tuberculosis, infects one third of the world's population and kills an estimated 1.7 million people a year. With the world-wide emergence of drug resistance, and the finding of more functional

Gene duplicability of core genes is highly consistent across all angiosperms [PDF]
, 2016 Gene duplication is an important mechanism for adding to genomic novelty. Hence, which genes undergo duplication and are preserved following duplication is an important question. It has been observed that gene duplicability, or the ability of genes to be

Selection in the evolution of gene duplications [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2002 Gene duplications have a major role in the evolution of new biological functions. Theoretical studies often assume that a duplication per se is selectively neutral and that, following a duplication, one of the gene copies is freed from purifying (stabilizing) selection, which creates the potential for evolution of a new function.In search of systematic

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021 Background: Very few reports are available on human XX ovotesticular disorder of sex development involving SOX3 gene duplication. Here we aim to present a rare case of SOX3 gene duplication in a person from the Chinese population who exhibits XX ...

Inference of Ancient Whole-Genome Duplications and the Evolution of Gene Duplication and Loss Rates.
Molecular biology and evolution, 2019 Gene tree-species tree reconciliation methods have been employed for studying ancient whole-genome duplication (WGD) events across the eukaryotic tree of life.
