The molecular evolution of spiggin nesting glue in sticklebacks

Gene duplication and subsequent divergence can lead to the evolution of new functions and lineage‐specific traits. In sticklebacks, the successive duplication of a mucin gene (MUC19) into a tandemly arrayed, multigene family has enabled the production of copious amounts of ‘spiggin’, a secreted adhe...
