Overview

Duplicated genes are copies of a gene that arise as a result of certain evolutionary processes. They are often found within genomes, and can play an important role in the evolution of a species. Duplicated genes can give rise to gene products (proteins) with new properties that can confer an adaptive advantage to the organism. For example, duplicated genes can provide the raw material for the evolution of novel pathways, allowing organisms to survive in changing environments. They are therefore important in the evolution and adaptation of species.
