Post-duplication charge evolution of phosphoglucose isomerases in teleost fishes through weak selection on many amino acid sites

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The partitioning of ancestral functions among duplicated genes by neutral evolution, or subfunctionalization, has been considered the primary process for the evolution of novel proteins (neofunctionalization). Nonetheless, how a subf...
