Real-Time Evolution of New Genes by Innovation, Amplification, and Divergence
Open accessAbstract
Duplicate Gene, New Tricks: The fact that functionally new genes appear is clear, but the evolutionary process that allows for a new gain of function is not well understood. Näsvall et al. (p. 384 ) present the innovation-amplification-divergence model which suggests that after gene duplication, ancestral function is maintained but that the duplicate copies can gain new function that is selected for through the accumulation of mutations or changes in expression. Experimental selection on Salmonella enterica allowed an ancestral gene to evolve new enzymatic function in fewer than 3000 generations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
