The genetic puzzle of multicopy genes: challenges and troubleshooting
The study of multicopy genes discloses early events for functional adaptation. Here, we discuss the significance of multicopy genes in plant biology and provide an experimental protocol to analyze them. As plant systems are strongly influenced by light/dark cycles, challenges inherent to circadian processes are also acknowledged. Therefore, our comprehensive approach aims to advance the understanding of multicopy gene dynamics, offering practical methodologies and contributing with valuable insights to the scientific community.
