The Role of Gene Elongation in the Evolution of Histidine Biosynthetic Genes

The Role of Gene Elongation in the Evolution of Histidine Biosynthetic Genes

Gene elongation is a molecular mechanism consisting of an in-tandem duplication of a gene and divergence and fusion of the two copies, resulting in a gene constituted by two divergent paralogous modules. The aim of this work was to evaluate the importance of gene elongation in the evolution of histi...
