Concerted and birth-and-death evolution of multigene families

M Nei, AP Rooney - Annu. Rev. Genet., 2005 - annualreviews.org
Until around 1990, most multigene families were thought to be subject to concerted
evolution, in which all member genes of a family evolve as a unit in concert. However …

Concerted evolution: molecular mechanism and biological implications
