Abstract
Functional divergence after gene duplications is a fundamental issue for functional innovations in many organisms. As gene family proliferation (gene duplication) may have provided the raw materials for the origin of new genes, the details of how duplicate genes have preserved through functional divergence remain largely unknown. In this review paper, we discuss some recent developments about this important issue, with special references to the implication for functional genomics. With a combination of large-scale genome sequencing and powerful computational analysis, we show a great deal of functional information can be obtained from the evolutionary perspective, which can in turn be used to facilitate high throughput functional assays. The software DIVERGE can be obtained form http://xgu.gdcb.iastate.edu.

Deep learning in Single Cell Analysis
The field of biology is undergoing a revolution in our ability to study individual cells at the molecular level, and to integrate data from multiple sources and modalities. This has been made possible by advances in technologies for single-cell sequencing, multi-omics profiling, spatial transcriptomics, and high-throughput imaging, as well as ...read more
New insights on Pediatric Tumors and Associated Cancer Predisposition Syndromes
Because of the broad spectrum of children cancer susceptibility, the diagnosis of cancer risk syndromes in children is rarely used in direct cancer treatment. The field of pediatric cancer genetics and genomics will only continue to expand as a result of increasing use of genetic testing tools. It's possible that ...read more
