Differential transcriptional modulation of duplicated fatty acid-binding protein genes by dietary fatty acids in zebrafish (<it>Danio rerio</it>): evidence for subfunctionalization or neofunctionalization of duplicated genes

Differential transcriptional modulation of duplicated fatty acid-binding protein genes by dietary fatty acids in zebrafish (<it>Danio rerio</it>): evidence for subfunctionalization or neofunctionalization of duplicated genes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In the Duplication-Degeneration-Complementation (DDC) model, subfunctionalization and neofunctionalization have been proposed as important processes driving the retention of duplicated genes in the genome. These processes are thought...
