Evolutionary genetics of genome merger and doubling in plants. (2008, background): “The tendency for duplicated gene copies to accumulate only less severe amino acid substitutions than do singletons in natural populations is in contrast to the widely held belief that a primary advantage of polyploidy is the freedom for duplicated genes to acquire new functions (76, 101, 104).”
Gene duplication and evolutionary novelty in plants. (2009, background): “Although this concept did not originate with Ohno (for a history see Taylor & Raes, 2004 ), it was broadly popularized in his book ‘Evolution by gene duplication’ (1970).”
Ever-changing landscapes: transcriptional enhancers in development and evolution (2016, background): “Regulatory Innovation following Genomic Duplication Genomic duplication is an important event driving evolutionary change, as it generates new gene loci with the potential to evolve divergent functions and drives the formation of new regulatory programs (Taylor and Raes, 2004).”
Evolution at Two Levels: On Genes and Form (2005, background): “Ever since Ohno [14], and indeed well before [55], there has been widespread belief and expectation that gene duplication has been a major driving force in evolution.”
Turning a hobby into a job: How duplicated genes find new functions (2008, background): “Thus, it was appreciated early on that the genetic 'backup' provided by gene duplication would be crucial to functional innovatio”
Draft genome sequence of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan), an orphan legume crop of resource-poor farmers (2011, background): “The Phaseoleae -restricted ORFans in pigeonpea display many of the characteristics of ORFans identified in other specie”
Plants with double genomes might have had a better chance to survive the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event (2009, background): “There is ample evidence that gene duplication fuels long-term diversification and evolutionary success through the evolution of novel gene functions (32, 34), but the short-term advantages of polyploidy are less known.”
