Divergent DNA Methylation Provides Insights into the Evolution of Duplicate Genes in Zebrafish [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 The evolutionary mechanism, fate and function of duplicate genes in various taxa have been widely studied; however, the mechanism underlying the maintenance and divergence of duplicate genes in Danio rerio remains largely unexplored.

Functional Heterogeneity of the Young and Old Duplicate Genes in Tung Tree (Vernicia fordii)
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Genes are subject to birth and death during the long evolutionary period. Here, young and old duplicate genes were identified in Vernicia fordii. We performed integrative analyses, including expression pattern, gene complexity, evolution, and functional ...

Gene Complexity and Gene Duplicability [PDF]
Current Biology, 2005 Eukaryotic genes are on average more complex than prokaryotic genes in terms of expression regulation, protein length, and protein-domain structure [1-5]. Eukaryotes are also known to have a higher rate of gene duplication than prokaryotes do [6, 7]. Because gene duplication is the primary source of new genes [], the average gene complexity in a genome

Gene Dosage and Gene Duplicability [PDF]
Genetics, 2008 Abstract The evolutionary process leading to the fixation of newly duplicated genes is not well understood. It was recently proposed that the fixation of duplicate genes is frequently driven by positive selection for increased gene dosage (i.e., the gene dosage hypothesis), because haploinsufficient genes were reported to have more ...

Increased expression and protein divergence in duplicate genes is associated with morphological diversification. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2009 The differentiation of both gene expression and protein function is thought to be important as a mechanism of the functionalization of duplicate genes.

Expectations of Duplicate Gene Retention Under the Gene Duplicability Hypothesis
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Abstract Background Gene duplication is an important process in evolution. What causes some genes to be retained after duplication and others to be lost is a process not well understood. The most prevalent theory is the gene duplicability hypothesis, that something about the function and number of interacting partners (number of subunits of ...

Rapid and asymmetric divergence of duplicate genes in the human gene coexpression network
BMC Bioinformatics, 2006 Background While gene duplication is known to be one of the most common mechanisms of genome evolution, the fates of genes after duplication are still being debated.

Molecular trajectories leading to the alternative fates of duplicate genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Gene duplication generates extra gene copies in which mutations can accumulate without risking the function of pre-existing genes. Such mutations modify duplicates and contribute to evolutionary novelties.

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
