Parallel evolution of amphioxus and vertebrate small-scale gene duplications

Parallel evolution of amphioxus and vertebrate small-scale gene duplications

Abstract Background Amphioxus are non-vertebrate chordates characterized by a slow morphological and molecular evolution. They share the basic chordate body-plan and genome organization with vertebrates but lack their 2R whole-genome duplications and their developmental complexity. For these reasons...
