Gene conversion and the evolution of protocadherin gene cluster diversity.

Genome research - 1 Mar 2004

Noonan James P, Grimwood Jane, Schmutz Jeremy, Dickson Mark, Myers Richard M

Abstract excerpt

The synaptic cell adhesion molecules encoded by the protocadherin gene cluster are hypothesized to provide a molecular code involved in the generation of synaptic complexity in the developing brain. Variation in copy number and sequence content of protocadherin cluster genes among vertebrate spec...
