Duplication and diversification of the hypoxia-inducible IGFBP-1 gene in zebrafish.
Gene duplication is the primary force of new gene evolution. Deciphering whether a pair of duplicated genes has evolved divergent functions is often challenging. The zebrafish is uniquely positioned to provide insight into the process of functional gene evolution due to its amenability to genetic an...
