Abstract

Gene duplication resulting in paralogues is an imperfectly understood process in terms of the order of duplications facilitating the evolution of new functions. An example is the Squalene Synthase-Like (SSL) gene family of the oil-bearing green alga Botryococcus braunii race B. Squalene synthases combine two half reactions of catalysis, being the formation of presqualene disphosphate (PSPP) and then the subsequent synthesis of a triterpenoid, in this case squalene. It was previously established that the SSL paralogues have separated these two half reactions. From 'Selected abstracts of “Bioinformatics: from Algorithms to Applications 2020” conference'
