This process results in an increase in copy number, unlike a deletion.
This process precedes degeneration and complementation in a model of sub-functionalization developed by Force et al. One of these events can be detected by a step-like elevation in the Log-R ratio in an array CGH experiment. Susumu Ohno pioneered the view that this process, followed by neo-functionalization, is a central process of evolution. In breast cancer, the extent to which this process has occurred to HER2 is a common (*) prognostic indicator, and this process commonly occurs to N-myc in neuroblastoma. This process is a common one that produces isozymes. Paralogs are products of this genetic process, which occurred repeatedly in the beta-globin locus. The tandem version of this process is usually the result of an unequal crossover. This process results in an increase in copy number, unlike a deletion. For 10 points, name this genetic change in which a segment of DNA is copied.
