Inventing an arsenal: adaptive evolution and neofunctionalization of snake venom phospholipase A<sub>2 </sub>genes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Gene duplication followed by functional divergence has long been hypothesized to be the main source of molecular novelty. Convincing examples of neofunctionalization, however, remain rare. Snake venom phospholipase A<sub>2 <...
