This being said, the results are pretty amazing in that so much complexity and diversity is shown to emerge from very simple rules of replication, interaction, mutation, and decay.

During this period of relaxed selection, duplicate genes either find new roles (neofunctionalize), partition ancestral roles (subfunctionalize) or accumulate deleterious mutations and decay as pseudogenes.

During the birth-and-death evolution, some genes accumulate deleterious mutations and subsequently decay (Nei and Rooney 2005).

Moreover, the rate of the dampening depends on both the mutation rate and the recombination rate (see supplementary table S1, Additional file 1), with high mutation and recombination rates causing faster decay.
