Evolution of a Complex Locus: Exon Gain, Loss and Divergence at the Gr39a Locus in Drosophila

BACKGROUND: Gene families typically evolve by gene duplication followed by the adoption of new or altered gene functions. A different way to evolve new but related functions is alternative splicing of existing exons of a complex gene. The chemosensory gene families of animals are characterised by nu...
