Rapid diversification of homothorax expression patterns after gene duplication in spiders
Abstract Background Gene duplications provide genetic material for the evolution of new morphological and physiological features. One copy can preserve the original gene functions while the second copy may evolve new functions (neofunctionalisation). Gene duplications may thus provide new genes invo...
