Birth and rapid subcellular adaptation of a hominoid-specific CDC14 protein.

Birth and rapid subcellular adaptation of a hominoid-specific CDC14 protein.

Gene duplication was prevalent during hominoid evolution, yet little is known about the functional fate of new ape gene copies. We characterized the CDC14B cell cycle gene and the functional evolution of its hominoid-specific daughter gene, CDC14Bretro. We found that CDC14B encodes four different sp...
