Gene duplication and the evolution of moonlighting proteins

Gene duplication and the evolution of moonlighting proteins

Gene duplication is a recurring phenomenon in genome evolution and a major driving force in the gain of biological functions. Here, we examine the role of gene duplication in the origin and maintenance of moonlighting proteins, with special focus on functional redundancy and innovation, molecular tr...
