Gene and genome duplications are considered to be the main evolutionary mechanisms contributing to the unrivalled biodiversity of bony fish. New studies of vitellogenin yolk proteins, including a report in BMC Evolutionary Biology, reveal that the genes underlying key evolutionary innovations and adaptations have undergone complex patterns of duplication and functional evolution.
基因和基因组复制被认为是促成硬骨鱼无与伦比的生物多样性的主要进化机制。对卵黄蛋白原的新研究,包括发表在《BMC进化生物学》上的一篇报告,揭示了关键进化创新和适应背后的基因经历了复杂的复制模式和功能进化。
