Inventing an arsenal: adaptive evolution and neofunctionalization of snake venom phospholipase A(2 )genes

BACKGROUND: Gene duplication followed by functional divergence has long been hypothesized to be the main source of molecular novelty. Convincing examples of neofunctionalization, however, remain rare. Snake venom phospholipase A(2 )genes are members of large multigene families with many diverse func...
