@ChenxinLi2 In general, plus they lead to higher rates of genetic diversity. https://t.co/NV3UcEPOBT And this is different between primary and specialized metabolism. https://t.co/7u5CvIeNlE There are similar papers in Maize, Pine, etc. Usually just a se
“In the absence of functional biochemical evidence, it is difficult to classify gene expression changes between tandem duplicates as true sub-functionalization versus neo-functionalization coupled with intraspecific gene expression variation." https://t.co
“In primary metabolic pathways where variation may be detrimental, this may actually select against the presence of duplicated genes and variable expression patterns." https://t.co/o8Qye3Vj32
“In secondary metabolic pathways where variation is required, duplicates will be maintained and evolve diverse expression patterns.“ https://t.co/o8Qye3Vj32
