Recombination facilitates neofunctionalization of duplicate genes via originalization

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Recently originalization was proposed to be an effective way of duplicate-gene preservation, in which recombination provokes the high frequency of original (or wild-type) allele on both duplicated loci. Because the high frequency of...
