Nutrient-dependent gene duplication in plants (but not animals?)
Divergence of Gene Body DNA Methylation and Evolution of Plant Duplicate Genes Excerpt 1) “A recent study demonstrated that the DNA methylation in promoter may play a significant role for functional divergence of duplicated genes in human [48].” Excerpt 1 from the cited work [48]: “For 73% of gene pairs, one copy is always hypomethylated … Nutrient-dependent gene duplication in plants (but not animals?)
