But gene duplication is hard to find just by sequencing DNA unless you spent LOTS of money for hi quality sequence :( http://t.co/HKoHraZgrp

For example, white coat color in domestic sheep is caused by a gene duplication. http://t.co/HKoHraZgrp

Small gene number changes can have big effect! Unlike changes in single base pairs which often have no effect. http://t.co/HKoHraZgrp

So extra copies of a gene -> more of the gene's product -> gene has more effect -> animal is bigger/fatter/... tamer? http://t.co/HKoHraZgrp
