Two models for the evolution of new genes. In the Ohno model, duplication occurs before neofunctionalization. In the IAD model, neofunctionalization occurs before gene duplication. After neofunctionalization in either model, selection for increased gene dosage can lead to further amplification. Only duplications are shown for simplicity.
