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.

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.

Recurrent De Novo NAHR Reciprocal Duplications in the ATAD3 Gene Cluster Cause a Neurogenetic Trait with Perturbed Cholesterol and Mitochondrial Metabolism. [PDF]

, 2020
Recent studies have identified both recessive and dominant forms of mitochondrial disease that result from ATAD3A variants. The recessive form includes subjects with biallelic deletions mediated by non-allelic homologous recombination.

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.

Going nuclear: gene family evolution and vertebrate phylogeny reconciled [PDF]

, 2002
Gene duplications have been common throughout vertebrate evolution, introducing paralogy and so complicating phylogenctic inference from nuclear genes.

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

An Overview of Duplicated Gene Detection Methods: Why the Duplication Mechanism Has to Be Accounted for in Their Choice

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

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 ...

Comparative Genomics Reveals Gene Duplication and Evolution in 26 Aurantioideae Species

Horticulturae
Gene duplication, as a prevalent phenomenon in the tree of life, provides a potential substrate for evolution. However, its role in the Aurantioideae remains unclear.
