Rapid diversification of FoxP2 in teleosts through gene duplication in the teleost-specific whole genome duplication event.
As one of the most conserved genes in vertebrates, FoxP2 is widely involved in a number of important physiological and developmental processes. We systematically studied the evolutionary history and functional adaptations of FoxP2 in teleosts. The duplicated FoxP2 genes (FoxP2a and FoxP2b), which we...
