géncsaládok
Géncsaládok, also known as gene families, are groups of genes within a genome that are thought to have arisen from a common ancestral gene through duplication and subsequent divergence. These genes share significant sequence similarity and often perform related or identical functions. The process of gene duplication is a fundamental mechanism driving the evolution of genomes, allowing for the creation of new genetic material that can then be modified over time.
The study of géncsaládok is crucial for understanding gene function, evolutionary relationships, and the development of
Examples of géncsaládok are abundant in all known genomes. The globin gene family, for instance, includes genes
