Tandem Duplicate Genes in Maize Are Abundant and Date to Two Distinct Periods of Time

Tandem Duplicate Genes in Maize Are Abundant and Date to Two Distinct Periods of Time

Tandem duplicate genes are proximally duplicated and as such occur in similar genomic neighborhoods. Using the maize B73 and PH207 de novo genome assemblies, we identified thousands of tandem gene duplicates that account for ∼10% of the annotated genes. These tandem duplicates have a bimodal distrib...
