This Déjà Vu Feeling—Analysis of Multidomain Protein Evolution in Eukaryotic Genomes
See on Scoop.it – Virology and Bioinformatics from Virology.ca
Evolutionary innovation in eukaryotes and especially animals is at least partially driven by genome rearrangements and the resulting emergence of proteins with new domain combinations, and thus potentially novel functionality. Given the random nature of such rearrangements, one could expect that proteins with particularly useful multidomain combinations may have been rediscovered multiple times by parallel evolution.
