Gene Loss and Evolutionary Rates Following Whole-Genome Duplication in Teleost Fishes [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2006 Teleost fishes provide the first unambiguous support for ancient whole-genome duplication in an animal lineage. Studies in yeast or plants have shown that the effects of such duplications can be mediated by a complex pattern of gene retention and changes in evolutionary pressure.

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.

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 ...

Ancient whole genome duplications and the evolution of the gene duplication and loss rate [PDF]
, 2019 AbstractGene tree - species tree reconciliation methods have been employed for studying ancient whole genome duplication (WGD) events across the eukaryotic tree of life. Most approaches have relied on using maximum likelihood trees and the maximum parsimony reconciliation thereof to count duplication events on specific branches of interest in a ...

Unified modeling of gene duplication, loss, and coalescence using a locus tree [PDF]
Genome Research, 2012 Gene phylogenies provide a rich source of information about the way evolution shapes genomes, populations, and phenotypes. In addition to substitutions, evolutionary events such as gene duplication and loss (as well as horizontal transfer) play a major role in gene evolution, and many phylogenetic models have been developed in order to reconstruct and ...

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

Extensive horizontal gene transfer, duplication, and loss of chlorophyll synthesis genes in the algae [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2015 Two non-homologous, isofunctional enzymes catalyze the penultimate step of chlorophyll a synthesis in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria, eukaryotic algae and land plants: the light-independent (LIPOR) and light-dependent (POR) protochlorophyllide oxidoreductases.

Gene tree parsimony for incomplete gene trees: addressing true biological loss
Algorithms for Molecular Biology, 2018 Motivation Species tree estimation from gene trees can be complicated by gene duplication and loss, and “gene tree parsimony” (GTP) is one approach for estimating species trees from multiple gene trees.
