The phrase "a subsequent divergence" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a situation where two or more things have diverged or separated after an initial similarity or agreement.
Example: "After the initial agreement, there was a subsequent divergence in their opinions on the project direction."
Alternatives: "a later divergence" or "an ensuing divergence".
Our results suggest a complex evolutionary history for microRNA genes in this imprinted region, including an amplification of microRNA precursors in a mammalian ancestor, and a rapid subsequent divergence of the mature sequences.
The Apis mellifera MRJP/YELLOW family and the Drosophila melanogaster YELLOW family resulted from a series of events of a duplication and subsequent divergence [ 6].
Sequence similarities between FTZ-F1 and HR39 suggest that NR5B in arthropods is the result of a duplication and subsequent divergence of the NR5A receptor [ 70].
The evolution behind this divergence might be a result of multiple evolutionary origins or a single origin with subsequent divergence.
(i) DIA1R orthologues cluster with each other, supporting the hypothesis of a gene duplication, and subsequent divergence of the duplicated gene.
The observed patterns of morphological and genetic differences among D. dianthus populations are consistent with a model of isolation and subsequent divergence.
The closely related Prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone genes are thought to have arisen from a common ancestral gene as a result of gene duplication and subsequent divergence early in vertebrate evolution [ 1].
The ancestor of cyanobacteria either possessed one photosystem, and then a second one was transferred via HGT giving rise to a "chimeric" photosynthetic apparatus, or there was a gene duplication event followed by subsequent divergence into two different photosystems.
This Msx gene itself was likely created by the duplication and subsequent divergence of an ancestral urMetaHox gene.
