Phylogenetically Classifies Retention Mechanisms of Duplicate
Genes from Gene Expression Data
Description
Classification is based on the recently developed phylogenetic
approach by Assis and Bachtrog (2013). The method classifies the
evolutionary mechanisms retaining pairs of duplicate genes (conservation,
neofunctionalization, subfunctionalization, or specialization) by comparing gene
expression profiles of duplicate genes in one species to those of their single-
copy ancestral genes in a sister species.
