Sentence examples for functional duplication from inspiring English sources

The functional duplication of Ugt1a5 in baboon has also been reported in a very recent publication [ 37].

This type of assessment relies on the assumption that sequences have evolved in a clock-like fashion, which may be frequently violated if transferred sequences evolve more rapidly in the recipient genome due to amelioration pressures or functional duplication [ 46].

The fact that several different SFPs were associated with P1 and P2 in the current study provides evidence for functional redundancy [ 19, 31, 47], defined as functional duplication [ 19], in the sense that several SFPs affected the same reproductive phenotype.

Multiple bands in the Southern-RFLP profiles might also have been derived from additional gene copies, partial non-functional duplications, or from chimeric genes [ 2].

The D. willistoni mtrm-dup gene seems to be a recent pseudogene, whereas strong evidence is here presented supporting the fact that the D. virilis mtrm-dup is an old functional gene duplication.

Taken in the aggregate, these observations strongly support the hypothesis that NANOGP1 remained functional after duplication and, therefore, was subject to selection-driven conservation of its reading frame.

Comparison of transcription factor genes of C. elegans and Caenorhabditis briggsae was therefore carried out and revealed very few examples of functional gene duplication since the divergence of these species for most, but not all, transcription factor gene families.

Third, previous experiments in Drosophila melanogaster demonstrated that the number of functional gene duplications correlates to the resistance to Cd [13], [58] and Cu [13] as a direct consequence of the increased gene expression.

Thus, this gene may be the product of a genome misassembly, may not be expressed in whole blood, or may be a non-functional gene duplication.

Such co-evolutionary struggles may have left distinct marks in the genome of each species involved, and mammalian MHC regions have been shaped into clusters of immunological gene families by such host-pathogen interactions, probably via functional gene duplications [ 1- 3].

Pairs of duplicate genes that exhibit this genetic antagonism relationship must have gone through a switch from their initial identical functions upon gene duplication to functional antagonism – a complete functional diversification process.
