Functional divergence of gene duplicates through ectopic recombination

Functional divergence of gene duplicates through ectopic recombination

This report reveals that duplicated genes undergo ectopic recombination, which leads to new chimaeric alleles. Mimicking these intergenic recombination events creates chimaera with phenotypes that differ from those of their parental genes.
