Extensive copy-number variation of young genes across stickleback populations.

Extensive copy-number variation of young genes across stickleback populations.

Duplicate genes emerge as copy-number variations (CNVs) at the population level, and remain copy-number polymorphic until they are fixed or lost. The successful establishment of such structural polymorphisms in the genome plays an important role in evolution by promoting genetic diversity, complexit...
