In more recent work is the emergence of a new position in duplicate also called Neofunktionalisierung eg Beisswanger & Stephan, 2008, Teshima and Innan 2008. gene duplications are frequently observed events, but it is relatively likely that as a result of either a functionless pseudogene arises or that a subfunctionalization begins.
