Higher evolutionary dynamics of gene copy number for Drosophila glue genes located near short repeat sequences

Higher evolutionary dynamics of gene copy number for Drosophila glue genes located near short repeat sequences

Abstract Background During evolution, genes can experience duplications, losses, inversions and gene conversions. Why certain genes are more dynamic than others is poorly understood. Here we examine how several Sgs genes encoding glue proteins, which make up a bioadhesive that sticks the animal duri...
