Gene duplication events are important sources of novel gene functions. However, more often than not, a duplicate gene may lose its function and become a pseudogene. What is the relative frequency of these two scenarios: functional divergence versus gene loss? Given that most non-neutral mutations ar
The dodecaploid anuran amphibian Xenopus ruwenzoriensis represents the only polyploid species of Xenopus in which the full silencing of the extra copies of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has not occurred. Xenopus ruwenzoriensis is a recent polyploid that has evolved within one of the two
