Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied two similar genes, six6.L and six6.S, in a type of frog called Xenopus laevis to see how they changed after the frog's genes duplicated.
- They found that the six6.L gene was more active in the eyes than the six6.S gene, which had changes that made it less effective.
- Their research helps explain how one gene copy can lose its function and become a pseudogene, which is just a 'forgotten' version of the original gene.
