RNA-based gene duplication databases | Genome annotation

Gene duplication is a major contributor to the origin of adaptive evolutionary novelties (Ohno 1970; Long et al. 2003). Small-scale duplications can be created by chromosome segmental duplications, a DNA-mediated mechanism (reviewed in [Prince and Pickett 2002; Marques-Bonet et al., 2009]), or through reverse transcription of mature RNA intermediates, a mechanism known as retrotransposition or retroduplication of mRNAs (Esnault et al. 2000).

SOURCE

Displays information about genes including functional, structural and expression data and also about given cDNA clone (also known as an Expressed Sequence Tag or EST) including putative ID, the size of the insert, vector information, and links to BLAST searches and genome browsing tools. SOURCE is a database which contains two type of page, Gene Reports (gene information) ans CloneReports (cDNA Clone Information).
