Duplication and loss event of calcium sensor proteins. A species tree was constructed to study the duplication and loss events of calcium binding sensor proteins. Result shows that, duplication event predominates the loss event during the evolution. Gene duplication events confirm the evolution of calcium sensing proteins through expansion. Duplicated genes in dicot plants are sometimes lost in the monocot lineage, suggesting the lineage specific evolution of calcium sensing genes. No conditional duplication was found during this study. The study was conducted using Notung software 2.9.
