More divergent duplications with < 94% sequence identity can be easily resolved by the WGS assembly method, whereas high-identity duplications (> 94%) are frequently collapsed [ 17, 18].
Single-gene duplications frequently result in more divergent gene expression between duplicated genes than WGDs (Casneuf et al. 2006; Ganko et al. 2007; Wang Y, et al. 2011).
Interchromosomal duplications are shorter (median length 2.5 kb) and more divergent (< 94% identity), while intrachromosomal duplications are much larger (median length 20 kb) showing higher sequence identity (~97%).
Though comprising only about 5% of the human genome, for instance, segmental duplications account for more divergent evolution between chimpanzees and humans than all single base-pair changes combined [47].
More divergent paralogs from the yeast whole-genome duplication event (Wolfe and Shields, 1997) were added to the list.
Paralogs originating from duplication within one organism may have more divergent functions.
With this strategy, we sought to ensure that we would not miss more divergent myosin homologs, which might have been derived by species-specific inventions or duplications.
With this strategy, we wanted to ensure that we would not miss more divergent tubulin homologs, which might have been derived by species-specific inventions or duplications.
Several Group 2 receptors have a duplication of the CHD, partially in OSMR, fully in the closely related LIFR, and including a duplicated N-terminal Ig domain in the more divergent OBR [ 13].
As expected, duplication of some ZmARFs showed a conserved intron/exon structure, whereas some others were more divergent, suggesting the possibility of functional diversification for these genes.
