Selection in the evolution of gene duplications
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Background Gene duplications have a major role in the evolution of new biological functions. Theoretical studies often assume that a duplication per se is selectively... -

Two C or not two C: recurrent disruption of Zn-ribbons, gene duplication, lineage-specific gene loss, and horizontal gene transfer in evolution of bacterial ribosomal proteins
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Background Ribosomal proteins are encoded in all genomes of cellular life forms and are, generally, well conserved during evolution. In prokaryotes, the genes for...
