The evolutionary fate of alternatively spliced homologous exons after gene duplication.

abstract：:Insertion sequences (ISs) are mobile genetic elements in bacterial genomes. In general, intergenic IS elements are probably less deleterious for their hosts than intragenic ISs, simply because they have a lower likelihood of disrupting native genes. However, since promoters, Shine-Dalgarno sequences, and transcription...
