Local synteny and codon usage contribute to asymmetric sequence divergence of <it>Saccharomyces cerevisiae </it>gene duplicates
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Duplicated genes frequently experience asymmetric rates of sequence evolution. Relaxed selective constraints and positive selection have both been invoked to explain the observation that one paralog within a gene-duplicate pair exhib...
