Example sentences for: subfunctionalization
How can you use “subfunctionalization” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Under the DDC model, greater regulatory complexity bestows greater potential for subfunctionalization (Force et al.
One major assumption, which was inherited by the subfunctionalization model, is that one gene copy is sufficient to perform the respective function, so that a gene duplication is redundant and has no effect on fitness [ 1, 10].
The 'subfunctionalization' hypothesis is based on the same assumption as Ohno's model, namely that duplicated genes are redundant in function and, accordingly, a duplication event is selectively neutral [ 6, 10].
Rather than one gene duplicate retaining the original function, while the other either degrades or evolves a new function, the original functions of the single-copy gene may be partitioned between the duplicates (subfunctionalization).
The likelihood that newly duplicated genes will both remain functional clearly relates to their inherent potential to undergo subfunctionalization or neofunctionalization.
