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.

Importance of gene duplication in the evolution of genomic imprinting revealed by molecular evolutionary analysis of the type I MADS-box gene family in Arabidopsis species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The pattern of molecular evolution of imprinted genes is controversial and the entire picture is still to be unveiled. Recently, a relationship between the formation of imprinted genes and gene duplication was reported in genome-wide survey of imprinted ...

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

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.

Modes of gene duplication contribute differently to genetic novelty and redundancy, but show parallels across divergent angiosperms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Both single gene and whole genome duplications (WGD) have recurred in angiosperm evolution. However, the evolutionary effects of different modes of gene duplication, especially regarding their contributions to genetic novelty or redundancy ...

Evolution of Gene Duplication in Plants [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2016 Ancient duplication events and a high rate of retention of extant pairs of duplicate genes have contributed to an abundance of duplicate genes in plant genomes. These duplicates have contributed to the evolution of novel functions, such as the production of floral structures, induction of disease resistance, and adaptation to stress.

Simulation parameters for analysis of gene duplication.
, 2013 Parameters for gene duplication and gene loss used to simulate the datasets for investigating the effect of gene duplication on orthology inference. These rates are per gene, per PAM unit (i.e. relative to substitutions).
