About this document
Accelerated Evolution in Gene Duplication by DebarunAcharya is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the evolutionary dynamics of gene duplicates in rodents, focusing on the accelerated evolution of one copy post-duplication. The findings indicate that the novel daughter copy experiences significantly increased evolutionary rates, primarily due to positive selection, for a limited time before reverting to pre-duplication levels. The research highlights the role of neofunctionalization and tissue-specific expression patterns in the evolution of young gene duplicates.
