Genome Evolution: First, a Bang Then, a Shuffle
Ricki Lewis | Jan 26, 2003 | 8 min read
Courtesy of Peggy Greb, ARS Photo Library Picture an imperfect hall of mirrors, with gene sequences reflecting wildly: That's the human genome. The duplications that riddle the genome range greatly in size, clustered in some areas yet absent in others, residing in gene jungles as well as within vast expanses of seemingly genetic gibberish. And in their organization lie clues to genome origins. "We've known for some time that duplications are the primary force for genes and genomes to evolve ov
