Extensive non-redundancy in a recently duplicated developmental gene family

Extensive non-redundancy in a recently duplicated developmental gene family

Abstract Background It has been proposed that recently duplicated genes are more likely to be redundant with one another compared to ancient paralogues. The evolutionary logic underpinning this idea is simple, as the assumption is that recently derived paralogous genes are more similar in sequence c...
