Abstract excerpt
The Aldolase multigene family comprises three functional genes (A, B, and C) with tissue-specific expression regulated during ontogeny. DGGE analysis and nucleotide sequencing reveal a family of retropseudogenes of type A in species of MUS: Significant variation in rates of evolution of Aldolase A retropseudogenes is apparent. Our analyses demonstrate that (1) multiple events of retrotransposition are needed to...
