Evolution of alternative splicing after gene duplication
Zhixi Su, Jianmin Wang, Jun Yu, Xiaoqiu Huang, and Xun Gu
The authors inadvertently failed to give precedence to the recent paper of N.M. Kopelman, D. Lancet, and I. Yanai (2005), “Alternative splicing and gene duplication are inversely correlated evolutionary mechanisms,” Nat. Genet. 37: 588–589, which reports equivalent findings. Namely, that an inverse correlation exists between the size of a gene’s family and its use of alternatively spliced isoforms. The authors sincerely apologize to those concerned for this oversight.
