About this document
Paper1 Fu is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document reports on recent segmental duplications in the human genome and their role in gene evolution. It finds that 6.1% of human genes contain exons that originated from segmental duplications within the last 40 million years. Certain gene families related to immunity, membrane interactions, and development are particularly enriched among recently duplicated genes. This suggests segmental duplication has contributed to adaptations and protein diversity in primate evolution.
