Example sentences for: subfunctionalization

How can you use “subfunctionalization” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • The likelihood that newly duplicated genes will both remain functional clearly relates to their inherent potential to undergo subfunctionalization or neofunctionalization.

  • 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].

  • Under the DDC model, greater regulatory complexity bestows greater potential for subfunctionalization (Force et al.

  • 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).
