Comparative Evidence of an Exceptional Impact of Gene Duplication on the Developmental Evolution of Drosophila and the Higher Diptera
The importance of gene duplication in developmental body plan evolution is well-established, but for many megadiverse clades such as true flies (Diptera), a comprehensive understanding is still just emerging through comparative genomics. In a survey of 377 developmental gene families, we found that...
