Lineage-specific gene duplication and loss in human and great ape evolution.

Lineage-specific gene duplication and loss in human and great ape evolution.

Given that gene duplication is a major driving force of evolutionary change and the key mechanism underlying the emergence of new genes and biological processes, this study sought to use a novel genome-wide approach to identify genes that have undergone lineage-specific duplications or contractions...
