Duplications
A duplication is the occurrence of an extra copy of a specific gene or chromosome within a single organism. This extra copy of genetic material can have a range of effects, from being completely silent and having no effect, to leading to the development of genetic diseases and other medical conditions. Duplications are important to evolutionary biology, as they can allow for the emergence of new functions in organisms and can also lead to the formation of new species. They are also of value to researchers in biomedicine, as they can be used to study the effects of changes in genetic material, such as those associated with diseases, on the development and functioning of an organism.

The term "proteome" refers to the entire complement of proteins, including the modifications made to a particular set of proteins, produced by an organism or a cellular system. They may also be used to see how well body responds to a treatment for a disease or condition. The term "proteomics" large-scale comprehensive study of a specific proteome.
