Positive and strongly relaxed purifying selection drive the evolution of repeats in proteins
Protein repeats may be considered a paradox, being evolutionarily conserved yet also hotspots of protein evolution associated with innovation. Here, the authors use a novel method to show that new repeats undergo rapid divergence within species, but are then fixed and conserved between species.
