Long-Term Asymmetrical Acceleration of Protein Evolution after Gene Duplication

Rapid divergence of gene copies after duplication is thought to determine the fate of the copies and evolution of novel protein functions. However, data on how long the gene copies continue to experience an elevated rate of evolution remain scarce. Standard theory of gene duplications based on some...
