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 ...

Nonrandom divergence of gene expression following gene and genome duplications in the flowering plant [PDF]
, 2006 Background: Genome analyses have revealed that gene duplication in plants is rampant. Furthermore, many of the duplicated genes seem to have been created through ancient genome-wide duplication events. Recently, we have shown that gene loss is strikingly

STRIDE: Species Tree Root Inference from Gene Duplication Events
bioRxiv, 2017 The correct interpretation of a phylogenetic tree is dependent on it being correctly rooted. A gene duplication event at the base of a clade of species is synapamorphic, and thus excludes the root of the species tree from that clade. We present STRIDE, a

Genes, 2020 Gene duplication is an important evolutionary mechanism allowing to provide new genetic material and thus opportunities to acquire new gene functions for an organism, with major implications such as speciation events. Various processes are known to allow

Resolving noise–control conflict by gene duplication
bioRxiv, 2019 Gene duplication promotes adaptive evolution in two principle ways: allowing one duplicate to evolve a new function and resolving adaptive conflicts by splitting ancestral functions between the duplicates.

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.

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.

Evolution of a cluster of innate immune genes (β-defensins) along the ancestral lines of chicken and zebra finch [PDF]
, 2010 BACKGROUND:Avian beta-defensins (AvBDs) represent a group of innate immune genes with broad antimicrobial activity. Within the chicken genome, previous work identified 14 AvBDs in a cluster on chromosome three.

Comparative Genomics Reveals Gene Duplication and Evolution in 26 Aurantioideae Species
HorticulturaeGene duplication, as a prevalent phenomenon in the tree of life, provides a potential substrate for evolution. However, its role in the Aurantioideae remains unclear.

Genome duplication and gene loss affect the evolution of heat shock transcription factor genes in legumes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Whole-genome duplication events (polyploidy events) and gene loss events have played important roles in the evolution of legumes. Here we show that the vast majority of Hsf gene duplications resulted from whole genome duplication events rather than ...
