Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that several multicopy gene families within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) arose from a process of segmental duplication. It has also been observed that retroelements play a role in generating diversity within these duplicated segments. The objective of this study was to compare the genomic organization of a gene duplication within another multicopy gene family outside the...
