Protists Gene Duplication Unlocks Evolutionary Secrets, Revolutionizing Genetic Research

Microbial Eukaryotes

Plant genomes, especially flowering plants, often have duplicated genes due to whole-genome and single-gene duplications. These duplicated genes can evolve in different ways, like gaining new functions or splitting tasks. By studying how gene expression changes after duplication, scientists have learned more about how these duplicated genes impact plant evolution.
