Gene expression dynamics underlying diversification and expansion of an actin gene family
During the evolution of gene families, functional diversification of proteins often follows gene duplication. However, some gene families expand while preserving protein sequence. Why would a cell need to maintain multiple copies of the same gene? In this thesis I have addressed this question for an...
