DNA methylation and evolution of duplicate genes.
The evolutionary mechanisms underlying duplicate gene maintenance and divergence remain highly debated. Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, may contribute to duplicate gene evolution by facilitating tissue-specific regulation. However, the role of epigenetic divergence on duplicate gene evolution remains little understood. Here we show, using comprehensive data across 10 diverse ...
متن کاملConcerted evolution of duplicated protein-coding genes in Drosophila.
Very rapid rates of gene conversion were observed between duplicated alpha-amylase-coding sequences in Drosophila melanogaster. This gene conversion process was also seen in the related species Drosophila erecta. Specifically, there is virtual sequence identity between the coding regions of the two genes within each species, while the sequence divergence between species is close to that expecte...
متن کاملEvolution of duplicate genes in a tetraploid animal, Xenopus laevis.
To understand the evolution of duplicate genes, we compared rates of nucleotide substitution between 17 pairs of nonallelic duplicated genes in the tetraploid frog Xenopus laevis with rates between the orthologous loci of human and rodent. For all duplicated X. laevis genes, the number of synonymous substitutions per site (dS) was greater than the number of nonsynonymous substitutions per site ...
متن کاملcis-Regulatory and protein evolution in orthologous and duplicate genes.
The relationship between protein and regulatory sequence evolution is a central question in molecular evolution. It is currently not known to what extent changes in gene expression are coupled with the evolution of protein coding sequences, or whether these changes differ among orthologs (species homologs) and paralogs (duplicate genes). Here, we develop a method to measure the extent of functi...
متن کاملThe evolutionary rate of duplicated genes under concerted evolution.
The effect of directional selection on the fixation process of a single mutation that spreads in a multigene family by gene conversion is investigated. A simple two-locus model with two alleles, A and a, is first considered in a random-mating diploid population with size N. There are four haplotypes, AA, Aa, aA, and aa, and selection works on the number of alleles A in a diplod (i = 0, 1, 2, 3,...
