Functional protein divergence in the evolution of Homo sapiens

Nuria Lopez-Bigas, Subhajyoti De, Sarah A Teichmann Genome Biology 2008, 9:R33 (15 February 2008)

Quantification of the divergence of proteins by functional category shows that morphological changes in metazoa have been driven by variation in regulatory genes.

Housekeeping genes tend to show reduced upstream sequence conservation

Domènec Farré, Nicolás Bellora, Loris Mularoni, Xavier Messeguer, M Mar Albà Genome Biology 2007, 8:R140 (13 July 2007)

Mammalian housekeeping genes show significantly lower promoter sequence conservation, especially upstream of position -500 with respect to the transcription start site, than genes expressed in a subset of tissues.

Relating tissue specialization to the differentiation of expression of singleton and duplicate mouse proteins

Shiri Freilich, Tim Massingham, Eric Blanc, Leon Goldovsky, Janet M Thornton Genome Biology 2006, 7:R89 (9 October 2006)

An analysis of the relationship between duplication events, the time they took place and the expression breadth of the duplicated genes supports the subfunctionalization model, in which expression divergence following gene duplication promotes the retention of a gene in multicellular species.
